This study explores the intricate relationship between geography and politics, emphasizing how physical features and spatial organization shape human activities and governance. Geopolitics delves into the influence of a country's size, position, and resources on its power dynamics and international relations. Through historical and cultural contexts, we examine the challenges of globalization, environmental concerns, and communication strategies. Focusing on nations like Brazil, China, France, and the USA, we analyze both classical and contemporary geopolitical theories in a rapidly evolving world.
