Geopolitics and the Contemporary Geopolitical Position of Croatia

Petar Kurečić ; Professor of Geography

Abstract

Geopolitics was founded as a world perspective which observed the influence of geographical factors on politics. Contemporary geopolitics is a scientific discipline which explores relations between space, power and population. Geopolitical location is one of the most important geopolitical categories. Geopolitical location was always significantly responsible for Croatia's position in the international community. Croatia has gained independence, so we can explore her independent geopolitical location for the first time. In the year 2000., significant political changes occurred in Croatia and in the Southeastern Europe. It is therefore necessary to explore the new geopolitical location of Croatia and its possible changes that might occur in the future .
