New Atlantis. The Geopolitics of the West on Land and at Sea

Nicholas Spickman (1893-1943) is considered one of the founders of American geopolitics. The speaker is characterized by a utilitarian approach, a clear desire to develop an effective geopolitical formula, with the help of which the United States can sooner achieve world domination. This can be achieved, Speakman says, creating a special geopolitical reality, a "new Atlantis", connected by a commonality of Western culture, the ideology of liberalism and democracy.
Karl Schmitt (1888-1985)-a German geopolitician who had a huge impact on the development of European political theory of the XX-XXI centuries. Unlike the "Atlantists", he believed that the main struggle for world domination is not at sea, but on land, and developed the theory of the "nomos" - a new order of continental management.
Despite the difference in the views of Spickman and Schmitt, many researchers believe that these are just ways to achieve the same goal - the power of the West over the world. Today, the Russian reader for the first time is given the opportunity to make his own opinion on this subject
