Abstract

Geopolitics is the knowledge which constitutes the political side of the science of geography and it has been approached by different perspectives during different periods. Each of the theories of Friedrich Ratzel, Hofer and Mackinder, Mahan, Spykman, Cohen and Lacoste and finally critical and post-modern geopolitics has presented a specific interpretation of traditional geopolitics according to their objectives, ideology, and thought. However, every geopolitician needs to look for new realms in geopolitics, take into consideration the new geopolitical approaches, explain this field according to the modern philosophical approaches for the improvement of the geopolitics knowledge, and use these theories with a geopolitical essence and identity for their applied fundamental analyses. Nowadays, geopolitics needs to extend its philosophical and theoretical realm. As such, the researchers of this study seek to first investigate the harmony and consistency between geography and constructivism theory, explain geopolitical constructivism, and introduce a new approach to geopolitics titled constructivist geopolitics. The research questions are: what harmony and consistency are between geography and constructivism approach? What are the basic concepts in the explanation of geopolitical constructivism? It needs to be noted that this is a descriptive-analytic study.
