Geopolitička misao Apeninskog poluostrva: učitelji i učenici
Geopolitical thought in Apennine Peninsula: Teachers and students

Summary/Abstract: Italy is one of the countries that developed a particular geopolitical thought in the first half of the 20th century, and it was abruptly ended with the fall of the fascist regime in Rome. The revival of geopolitics opened the question of the characteristics of this discipline in contemporary Italy. The author asks two research questions: 1) whether there is continuity with the old school, and if yes, in what measure? 2) What were the characteristics of Italian geopolitics in its formative period until 1943? The text has four chapters. The introductory part explains the context in which geopolitical thought in the Apennines arises in interaction with scientific and social-political changes in Europe and globally. The second part follows the roots, evolution, and conclusion of the geopolitical thought until 1943. The third chapter has two parts in which the author depicts the context in which geopolitics emerges again. In this part, the main authors, reviews and web sites are presented and analysed. In the concluding part of the text, the author defines three main lines of geopolitical thought in Italy. He clearly distinguishes between those who have a clear line of continuity with Massi and Roletto – the old school – and those who have adopted different frameworks.
