Description
A central concept in geopolitics, known as the "axis of the world" or "heart of the world," is closely linked to the concept of "Heartland." Halford Mackinder, one of the founders of geopolitics, argued that controlling the Heartland makes it possible to control the entire world. This region is rich in natural resources such as oil and gas, and the most brutal wars in history were fought here. According to leading geopoliticians, it is here that the decisive clash of civilizations will take place. Western countries, in particular, formed NATO based on the concept of the "axis of the world" in preparation for this event. Authors such as Fernand Braudel, Samuel Huntington, and other well-known geopoliticians write about the role of other states, including Russia, and their historical mission—whose works are gathered in this book.
