Since the unprovoked and dastardly attacked by Japan, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire. We have been compelled to create a permanent armament industry of vast proportions. Weeping geopolitical changes have unfolded over the past century, with nations and alliances rising to power while others have crumbled. For generations, the United States has been the sole dominating power in world politics,2/10
but nothing lasts forever. This military action taken in accord with United Nations resolutions and with the consent. Today our armed forces joined our NATO allies and airstrikes against Serbian forces. On my orders, coalition forces have begun striking selected targets of military importance to undermine Saddam Hussein's ability. In this ever-changing and complicated world, we are now witnessing nations jockeying for position to challenge U.S. hegemony, bringing the3/10
unipolar era to an end, with the rise of a new multipolar era and with it a new balance of power. The transition into this new multipolar era may not be a simple or peaceful one, as the West will do everything in its power to maintain its leverage that shapes the world we live in today, including waging wars both openly and covertly. In this critical time of4/10
uncertainty and change, a greater need for understanding is crucial. And NewsBud Academy offers the conceptual tools to understand, explain and even predict political events which are shaking to the core the political status quo all across the world. Hello friends, I am Professor Philip Kovacovich and this is my course on the foundations of Anglo-American and Russian geopolitics produced by the NewsBud Academy. In this two-part series of5/10
NewsBud Academy, Professor Kovacovich presents the foundational concepts of geopolitics. Geopolitics as a concept is difficult to define. In general terms, one can say that geopolitics represents a specific approach to studying and interpreting the events on the global scene by taking into consideration the influence of the factors such as geography, history, culture and technology in the given area of the world. By including all these factors into6/10
the overall analysis, geopolitics seeks to answer the two key questions. What will happen and what to do about it? Therefore geopolitics has a predictive and a prescriptive dimension. This is why it is not surprising that the geopolitical approach was very frequently employed by the military and other advisors who were close to the key political decision makers throughout human history. Now available on DVD is the first7/10
NewsBud Academy presented by Professor Philip Kovacovich. This is a two-part graduate-level course that you will not find anywhere else. Professor Kovacovich presents a series of information-packed lectures where he presents the texts and concepts of the top minds that founded modern-day Anglo-American and Russian geopolitics. Part 1 focuses on the Anglo-American geopolitics and the works of Halford McKinder, Alfred Tair Mayhan and Nicholas Speakman, who played a significant8/10
role in shaping the ideology of Henry Kissinger and Zabigny Brzynski, who is also covered in this course. Part 2 covers pan-slavism and eurasianism, two somewhat opposing views which shaped today's landscape of Russian geopolitics, focusing on the works of Russian scholars and military officers such as Nikolay Danovlevsky and Peter Savitsky. And their contemporary advocates Yavgeny Primakov and Alexander Dugin. Most of this material has never been presented9/10
in English before and is largely unknown to Western audiences. This is why it is all the more urgent for everybody to acquire basic geopolitical knowledge in order to figure out the global trends and tendencies, even though he or she may not be able to influence the events in any significant way. The more we know, the less likely we are to be manipulated and cheated by those
