Methodological synthesis in contemporary geopolitics: Towards neoclassical (post-critical) geopolitics
Abstract
The article makes an attempt to investigate the evolvement of geopolitics by searching for the sources of shaping the existing paradigmatic schools. Following the discussion of methodological synthesis, it proposes a hypothesis of the stages of the influence of space on politics, which embraces positivist and post-positivist ideas. The examples from nation-building and centre-periphery relations substantiate the hypothesis.
