Understanding Ethnogeopolitics and its Developments

Abstract

This article introduces the (sub-)field of ethnogeopolitics. Although there is no consensus about the scope and meaning of geopolitics, an operational definition could be sought at the intersection of geography and politics or political science. Therefore, we can tentatively assume that when cultural factors are taken into analyses, a kind of geopolitics may be ‘produced’ that may be called ethnogeopolitics. Ethnogeopolitical analyses are often multi-scale and multi-actors.
