THE ROLE OF THE GEOPOLITICAL APPROACH IN STRENGTHENING INTERNATIONAL SECURITY

Abstract

This study aims to highlight the importance of the geopolitical approach in achieving international security as it focuses on the idea of national interests, meaning that whatever the nature of the difference in the political, strategic and natural factors that affect the distinct conditions of each country and push it to conflict or cooperation with other countries, the national interest is misleading. Always and ever, the general criterion that can be inferred to determine the external behavior of any member state in the international community. Perhaps among the criticisms leveled at this approach is the exaggeration in the focus of the external behavior of states within the framework of one factor, which is the factor of the national interest.
