Cultural Geopolitics

Cultural geopolitics examines how cultural factors—like ideas, beliefs, values, and identities—shape international relations and political power. It recognizes that geography influences culture, and vice versa, affecting how nations interact. For instance, historical narratives, national symbols, and public sentiments can impact foreign policy and global conflicts. By analyzing the intersection of culture and geopolitics, we gain insight into how nations project their influence and how cultural dynamics can both unite and divide people across borders. This field helps us understand that politics is not just about territory, but also about people's identities and shared experiences.
