Francis P. Sempa on Mackinder and Spykman


Mackinder's heartland theory and Spykman's rimland theory of political geography provided the basis for Zbigniew Brzezinski' The Grand Chessboard as a basic document shaping US geopolicy and global strategy. Sempa provides useful summaries. This background is key in understanding US foreign policy, US military policy, US economic policy, and US trade policy. It's about power.
