This book elucidates two distinct traditions within geopolitical theory: the Anglo-American and the Continental schools. By examining these different frameworks, the volume underscores the necessity of recognizing the contrasting worldviews that underpin each tradition for anyone seeking to engage meaningfully with the concept of "geopolitics."
