Summary/Abstract: Thus, it is with this fact in mind that one must approach the work by Mihai A. Panu on geopolitical doctrines. The author points out from the very beginning that the work itself does not aim for a comprehensive, exhaustive approach when dealing with its three chosen geopolitical schools or with the field in general, but rather serves to complete the existing debates in the Romanian space. This is relevant particularly due to Romania’s position in the current geopolitical configuration, which sees it part of the Euro-Atlantic alliance system, with the Romanian state thus bound to be greatly influenced by any developments in any future Great Game between the major power blocks. Throughout its chapters, the work deals with three important concepts, namely, geopolitics, geostrategy, and geoeconomics, while also paying attention to the evolution of various ideas championed by some of the most important theoreticians of the previous centuries, yet without neglecting the important contributions of lesser known authors.
