Summary/Abstract: One of the key texts to understand modern international relations and geopolitics can be found in Zbigniew Brzezinski's book Between Two Ages. The Role of America in the Technotronic Age. He outlines a kind of sketch of what the global world will look like, affirming the necessity of its birth due to technological development and historical progress. Globalization leads to the instauration of a global city, the result of the necessary progress of mankind. This process will make it possible to fulfill the promises Marxism failed to make true. Globalization and its tool, which is geopolitics, is a utopian rebuilding of the world according to the view of a technocratic elite, a transnational elite, which brings about planetary consciousness. Geopolitics is in the contemporary world an effort to establish a worldwide, freedom-stifling tyranny.
