Curso 1: Geopolitics and its Critics – 13 às 15h
with Stefano Guzzini
Geopolitics is an often used and misused concept that refers vaguely to anything related to international politics (as opposed to domestic politics), to a type of territorial politics, and also to a full-fledged theory of international affairs. The mini-course will focus on the latter presenting three approaches to it: classical and neo-classical geopolitics, critical geopolitics, performative or self-fulfilling geopolitics.
A first step presents the ideas of classical geopolitical thought and its recent revival and reform in ‘neo-classical’ geopolitics. Here, geopolitics refers to a determinist theory that sees in geography, human and physical, the main factors for understanding international politics. A second step presents a reflexive move. It does also focus on geographic factors but not in their ‘given’ or ‘natural’ effect; rather, how these factors are imagined and become reasons for action. Critical geopolitics focuses on the politics of geographic representations. Finally, ‘self-fulfilling geopolitics’ is about the self-fulfilling effects of such representations exemplified by an analysis of the return of geopolitical thought in Europe in the 1990s.
