An examination of geography and geopolitics in the light of technological development
An examination of geography and geopolitics in the light of technological development

Summary/Abstract: As numerous researchers in Poland and abroad say, geography no longer influences the development of political realities, since contemporary technology has allowed us to free ourselves from earthly limitations and to overcome the constraints applied by the earth. They further conclude that the power of nations and growth of societal and economic wellbeing are no longer dependent upon specific resources, localizations, or climates, but instead are conditioned through a certain attained base of production and level of technology. The purpose of the article is to formulate arguments which could show that such views are unjustified and entirely unwarranted, and that there is a need to make efforts at the restoration of classical concepts in geography and geopolitics as the useful means to understand the world.
