Summary/Abstract: Theory of geopolitics has as main purpose to highlight the ways in which an actor's system of international relations may impose their own interests in a geographical area or another. Geopolitics enables the possibility of unlocking the evolution of the trends and the future of the international relationship system. Geopoliticianist, unlike the historian, through its research products, expresses its „anticipation will of the functioning of the world in a logical world" Political analyst when operating in international relationship has not to deal with the of absolute reality, but only with subjective and often contradictory representations of reality. A simple reading of media from one country or another, to inform us about the dispute geopolitics and geostrategical energy resources, for example, will show us that we're having a plurality of diffrent images and perceptions. Perceptions have always as an end, the creation of a complex images of themselves, but also in relation to others. By extending this reality at the level of international relationship, we can deduct that each actor in the international relations system, be it traditional or nonclasic, will develop its own perception both as regards the stage at a time, its ability to act in a certain context, in relation to its interests, but also with the possibilities of interaction with other actors. The place of an actor in the equation of power and especially its position in the relationships it has with other, defines its geopolitical position which should not be confused with its geographical position. The space is not an "actor" of history, which determine in a way or another the unfolding of the political events, but it is a support/environment where the actors involved in the contemporary geopolitical phenomenon, dispute their own interests according to place and role they have into the international relationship dynamics.
