Geopolitical Design and the 'Sense of Space' - methodological cores in Geopolitical Studies
Original language description
This paper set forth an attempt to discuss, in theoretical terms, how élites' perceptions of geographical space, and their capacities, can shape foreign policy. The main argument stated then that élites' perceptions of space (Raumsinn), as well as élites' capacities, are in intermediary position in a causal chain between geography and foreign policy outcomes. In this way, the explanation in detail about what the geopolitical design and the Raumsinn are, and how can they be identified, forms the innovative core of the paper, since both concepts make part of the geopolitical studies' elementary tasks. Although it is true that neoclassical realism already provided the basic guidelines for theoretical systematization in foreign policy, placing élites' perceptions and capacities in the geopolitical studies' framework had not yet been accomplished. The paper aimed, therefore, to formulate the premise that élites' perceptions do filter both the state relative material potential and international systemic constraints, thereby affecting foreign policy outcomes. Consequently, the paper is predominantly a theoretical and conceptual study, with further methodological purposes, on the positivist sphere.
