Länderkunde

Länderkunde, or political geography, is the study of countries and their relationships, focusing on borders, territories, and the geographical factors influencing political decisions. It examines how geography shapes nations' borders, influence their policies, and interact with neighboring states. The field also explores cultural, historical, and economic aspects that define a country’s identity and role on the global stage. By understanding these elements, Länderkunde helps explain why nations behave the way they do and how geographic features impact international relations and regional stability.
