A RENEWED GEOPOLITICAL AND GEOSTRATEGICAL ROLE FOR THE MEDITERANEAN SEA
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2008, Vol 28, Issue 3
Abstract
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the important geopolitical and geostrategic pivots in the world history. The concept of geopolitical pivot is used in the way Zbigniew Brzezinski did, in his Great Chessboard. The geopolitical and geostrategic significance of the Mediteranean is not the same along the entire history. From Ancient Times to Early Modern Times, the relevance of this sea is enormous. Then it decreases, because the “centre” of the world gradually glides to the Atlantic. But, starting with the opening stages of the Cold War, the geostrategic importance of the Mediterranean grows again, a trend which quickly goes on today, as well, in the context of the clash of civilizations and of the global war against terror.
