GONZALEZ TULE, Luis. Organization of global space in "classical" geopolitics: a view from critical geopolitics. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2018, vol.13, n.1, pp.221-238. ISSN 1909-3063.  https://doi.org/10.18359/ries.2864.

Geopolitics was born and developed between 1870 and 1945, in the era of greater rivalry between European empires, two world wars, alteration of borders and political map, great technological developments, and the transformation of power relationships (Ó Tuathail, 1998b). This paper aims to analyze how the global space was organized in the first half of the 20th century by "classical" authors, all of them from the main powers. From the perspective of critical geopolitics, It is argued that in the first half of the twentieth century both Europe and the United States established a dominant discourse through "geopolitical models" to organize space following their interests and national identities.

Keywords : classic geopolitics; critical geopolitics; geopolitical models.
