Über Halford J. Mackinders Heartland-Theorie

Not only does Europe lack the funds for war, but it is also not equipped to wage one and has nothing to gain from it! Structurally, financially, and militarily, it is not designed for this. Europe cannot afford a war if it wants to survive as a democratic entity. In other words: Europe once vowed to never have war again! Europe can only create peace. Only a return to its history can save Europe and promote its emancipation. Europe must become a power for peace again, drawing its strength, power, and identity from peace. This is what Europe, trained over centuries in a balance of power, must contribute to a multipolar, Eurasian world of the 21st century. In short: Europe is equally the anti-Mackinder! Ulrike Guérot examines Mackinder's Heartland Theory from a new perspective and situates it within current events. This includes the complete original text by Sir Halford J. Mackinder.
