Geostrategy
Geostrategy: "The process of globalisation may be surmounting national boundaries and radically transforming geostrategy." (NEO-STATECRAFT AND META-GEOPOLITICS: Reconciliation of Power, Interests and Justice in the 21st Century by Nayef R.F. Al-Rodhan, page 39)
Geostrategy Discussion
Geostrategy: "A geostrategy based too heavily on military defence may leave some states heavily armed but with a failing internal security structure, an unhealthy population or a society suffering under the tyranny of transnational criminal networks. Other geostrategists focus on the significance of certain geographic areas. For instance, Sir Halford Mackinder based his theory on the geopolitical importance of the Eurasian heartland. His worldview would have led geostrategists to conclude that control of the northern and interior parts of Eurasia should be their country’s primary geostrategic goal. Yet focusing only on one particular geographic area lets states ignore the emergence of other possible great military powers. Looking at the world through the spectrum of meta-geopolitics, states would detect potential shifts in the global balance of power early. Meta-geopolitics would draw their attention to states that may experience rapid population growth along with impressive economic growth and technological progress. This could lead geostrategists to rethink their country’s strategic orientation and include rising world powers in their security- and foreign-policy calculations".

Geostrategy in sum
Geostrategy in sum: "In sum, any geostrategy that is based on meta-geopolitics will account for the diffuse and shifting nature of today’s security threats." (NEO-STATECRAFT AND META-GEOPOLITICS: Reconciliation of Power, Interests and Justice in the 21st Century by Nayef R.F. Al-Rodhan, page 54
