Great Powers and Geopolitical Change

This Book explores the enduring relevance of geography and geostrategy in international relations by examining the historical trajectories of Venice, the Ottoman Empire, and Ming China. It argues that a state's understanding and utilization of its geopolitical situation, defined by resources and communication routes, is crucial for maintaining power. The author analyzes how shifts in global geopolitics, particularly the sixteenth-century rise of oceanic trade, impacted these powers. The study contends that failures to adapt geostrategies to changing geopolitical realities contributed to their decline. Finally, the book draws parallels to the contemporary geopolitical challenges facing the United States, emphasizing the continued importance of a geopolitically informed foreign policy.
