In this episode of iDeep Dive, we explore the history and evolution of geopolitical theory, beginning with the ancient Greek philosophers, Thucydides and Aristotle, who first analyzed the connection between geography and power. We then move through the Renaissance and early modern period, covering thinkers like Machiavelli and Kant, before diving into the 19th and 20th centuries with key figures such as Mackinder, Mahan, and Spykman.

The episode concludes with a discussion of contemporary geopolitical theories by Huntington, Brzezinski, and Wallerstein, examining how these theories continue to shape our understanding of global power dynamics.
