Sažetak
States enter political relations thus creating a dynamical system of power in which other non-state power actors also operate. State power is not a constant having in mind that state's survival could be called into the question in this dangerous and shifting environment. In order to survive states need to conduct a complex and multidisciplinary analysis to identify existing threats and other actor's goals. Using geopolitical doctrine one defines geopolitical goals and anti-goals as well as the instruments of power whose coordinated usage could help states to achieve those(diplomacy, armed forces, intelligence services, economy media). ln order to finally achieve those goals and anti-goals, each of the instruments of power needs to be appropriately established, posses acquired capacities and be adequately used. State without geopolitical doctrine is nat capable to act properly in relation to other actors of power thus jeopardizing to be placed in the position of the object whose destiny will be in other hands. The main sources of power of the corridor state are its corridors far transit of resources which are basic but nat exclusive factors of geopolitical analysis. ln order to define threats and goals of other actors of power as well as goals and anti- .goals of the corridor state one needs to use geopolitical analysis to comprise factor of physical geography, factor of identity geography as well as strategic and ideological factors. Only comprehensive and multidisciplinary geopolitical analysis could be used to point at particularities of power relations of particular corridor states thus providing effective geopolitical doctrine.
