Conservative geopolitics has assumed that the primary agents that matter in world affairs are states and, furthermore, that the primary relations that structure the world are those of force. Progressive geopolitics needs to question both assumptions. In this article, I explore some of the things that matter other than states and some of the relations that count other than force.
