The aim of the article is to show the differences between classical and contemporary geopolitics. Geopolitics was always considering the territory as a main determinant of states development but globalization began to offer a world structured in a very different way.

About geopolitics scholars started to write, again 1. They show it in a wider perspective, as a space/place (for example “virtual space”) or imagined space/place (for example “lost homeland”) or just people’s perception (meta-geography) of the world order, different countries, politics and culture.
