Abstract
In the second half of the twentieth century, the new generation of political geographers significantly expanded the field of scientific research in studies of the political sphere changing the discourse of political geography. One of the major territorial systems is the territorial and political system (TPS) – the object of political geography, as the direction of human geography. The territorial and political system – is the result of functioning in a particular territory objectively linked elements of political activity. The appearance in the political geography term of “the territorial and political system” has expanded the field of political and geographical researches and gave the opportunity to study the problems territorial-political organization at different hierarchical levels of the world system. The purpose of this work is to formulate the basic research approaches for investigation the territorial and political systems (TPS) on different levels to develop schemes of their politico-geographical analysis. The research solves a series of new tasks that have a theoretical and methodological importance: interpretation the system of concepts forms the modern field of politico-geographical research TPS on different hierarchical levels and helps to build the scheme of systemic politico-geographical analysis. Practical implementation of the scheme systemic politico-geographical analysis will allow to fully studying problems of territorial and political organization of society, to carry out highly specialized research of individual elements of TPS or to analyze the territory in terms of a key (main) issue. Substantiated key positions for building the scheme of systemic politico-geographical analysis have to take into account modern challenges in society. Methodology. Using the methods of system analysis and synthesis, inductive-deductive proof, abstraction and logical constructs provide the systemic research. It was analyzed a great massive of scientific and journalistic materials on the politico-geographical and geopolitical studies.
