Survey of geopolitics
Geopolitics is a product of its time, and its definitions have
evolved accordingly. Rudolphh Kjellén, who coined the term in
1899, described geopolitics as "the theory of the state as a
geographical organism or phenomenon in space." For Karl
Haushofer, the father of German geopolotik, "Geopolitics is the
new national science of the state,(…) a doctrine on the spatial
determinism of all political processes, based on the broad
foundations of geography, especially of political geography". On
the eve of World War II, Derwent Whittlesey, the American
political geographer, considered geopolitics "a dogma*... the
faith that the state is inherently entitled to its place in the sun".
Richard Hartshorne defined it as "geography utilized for
particular purposes that lie beyond the pursuit of scientific
knowledge".
(Adaptado de Saul Bernard Cohen, Geopolitics of the world system. Boston: Rowman
& Littlefield Publishers, 2003. p.11.)

Podemos inferir pela leitura do texto que, embora haja relativa consonância entre os outros autores, Kjellén e Haushofer possuem visões semelhantes quanto à geopolítica, pois concordam que ela faz referência ao Estado.
Rudolphh Kjellén (...) described geopolitics as 'the theory of the state as a geographical
organism or phenomenon in space.' For Karl Haushofer (...) 'Geopolitics is the new national
science of the state (…) a doctrine on the spatial determinism of all political processes, based on the broad foundations of geography, especially of political geography"
Tradução: Rudolphh Kjellén descreveu a geopolítica como "a teoria do estado como um organismo ou fenômeno geográfico no espaço". Para Karl Haushofer (...) "a geopolítica é a nova ciência nacional do estado, (...) uma doutrina sobre o determinismo espacial de todos os processos políticos, baseada nos amplos fundamentos da geografia, especialmente da geografia política"
