THE STATE SECURITY BETWEEN GEOPOLITICAL REALISM AND HISTORICAL TRADITION

Summary/Abstract: Security is a concept that play a central role in geopolitics. Generally speaking, we can assert that geopolitics highlights some historical constants (features repeated in time, regardless ideologies and cultural differences) based on geographic features, in which States, as international politics main players, are collocated. Geopolitics is not the expression of a “geographical determinism”, despite many authors has often fallen into this wrong interpretation. A proper geopolitics working method is in fact not aimed to establish immutable laws in historical development, but it is aimed to identify general tendencies that need to be integrated with cultural, ethnographical, philological and historical information.
