The concept of political science, political philosophy and geopolitics of classical war has been reevaluated or restructured from the 19th century to the 21st century. How applicable, implementable, and adaptable is Halford John Mackinder’s “Heartland” theory in resolving modern and premodern geopolitical conflicts? How can Mackinder’s thoughts be interpreted in modern political science and geopolitics today? These questions form the core of my study.
