Historical Fragments of Geopolitics ("classics and Interpretations" Issue 51)
by Lou Lin
About This Novel
This book is the 51st issue of Classics and Interpretation. This issue is titled "Historical Fragments of Geopolitics" and is personally planned by Professor Liu Xiaofeng. Geopolitics is not only a topic of concern in real politics, but also a very important theme in the history of political thought. The Greco-Persian relations in ancient Greece and the war between the Spartans and the Athenians have already highlighted the embryonic geopolitics of later generations. However, it was only in the era of globalization after the great geographical discovery that geopolitics became global in perspective and took on a stronger political urgency. The papers included in the "Topics" column of this volume are mainly papers on geopolitics by German geopolitical scientists Haushofer, Schmitt and others before World War II, focusing on understanding the geopolitical thinking of that period. At the same time, American scholar Tambus's paper was published before the United States proposed the "Return to Asia-Pacific" strategy (2002). This shows the impact of geopolitical research in American academic circles on national strategy. This article starts from the perspective of Haushofer's book "Pacific Geopolitics" (1925) and proposes that attention should be paid to changes in Pacific geopolitics. In addition, the famous American political geographer of Central Asia David Lattimore (1900-1989) has included an old article from the 1940s called "The United States and Asia" to understand the continuity of the U. S.'S Asian strategy and at the same time understand our own geostrategic significance. The articles in other columns of this issue are also very insightful and worthy of your reading.
