- Опубліковано 27 чер 2019
- Klaus Dodds gives us a high-level overview of the field of Geopolitics, using 10 key images, and a case study on the Arctic to illustrate his points. From historical maps to James Bond films to the rhetoric of political leaders, he considers why, for a full understanding of contemporary global politics, it is essential to be geopolitical.
Klaus Dodds is Professor of Geopolitics at Royal Holloway, University of London, where he is also Director of the Politics & Environment Research Group. He is the author of Geopolitics: A Very Short Introduction.

every one from the native tribes to the most powerful leaders need to take a lesson on Geopolitics from Klaus Dodds, no necessary answers But a lot of food to think about and to act upon
What a fine lecture!. It "moved the floor under my feeth". We have to re-think about our international relations in the face of the rapid environmental change!
Nothing better than a Brit from Londonistan with colonial guilt. You could have summarized the whole thing with:'States have interests that sometimes go against the interests of other states.'
😂😂😂
This "expert" on the artic called it a "remote place devoid of natural resources" which couldn't be more wrong. The artic is not some symbolic place where you plant a flag for a dick measuring competition, it's full of oil and natural gas and is also a crucial sea route for military and economic purposes (connecting China and Northern Europe for example) with the melting of ice caps

This is not geopolitics. This is international law. He is portraying geopolitics as almost exclusively about symbolic lines and gestures, alongside perceptions held by the masses. This is only one dimension - he has entirely (except for briefly discussing Mackinder for credibility-sake) ignored geostrategy. As well, the masses only shape the "grand chessboard" of geopolitics, while elites are the primary middlemen between the masses and geostrategy.
Where can I find accurate stuff about geopolitics then?

Do you mean that we, the masses, dictate geopolitics?
I see this is 3 years old and you're unlikely to reply, but in my experience, it's states and corporations who 'play' geopolitics. When consent is needed it is manufactured by the media (see Iraq war and current one-sided reporting of Ukraine etc.) firstly, then acted upon. Also, look at the changing reporting of China in our media over the last few years. It's interesting to see the new enemy being manufactured in real time, though the long term implications are quite terrifying, with many USA polits and talking heads saying perfectly calmly that America's next major war will be with China, in the coming decades.
@@pamplemouse5 Note that I throw the word "geostrategy" in at the bottom - that would best encapsulate what youre describing imo.
Life in Space, mainly on the moon, is portrayed in Chinese folk tales and legends with a magical element.
Zeihan has a thing or two to say about Mackinder's map.
The USA won the lottery on geopolitical positioning with the Mississippi River Valley.
until it all runs dry like the aquifers feeding US industries
I'm so relieved to get this presentation of Geopolitics from Klaus Dodds. We need many more talks from Klaus.
I watched a documentary about Crimea... the people of Crimea prefer to be Russians.
The Master of Geopolitic is henry Kissinger himself
Interesting, but not surprised that this video doesn't allow the top comments to show.
Mr Klause, concerning last question and answer about Moldova, I would say mr Kissenger will disagree with you about yoir point of better joining NATO for East European country.
Last Davos he told about Ukraine advised to be a buffer zone rather then a frontier of NATO and EU.
Hope, now you can see why.
Kissinger was and is wrong. Just look at China.
Nice discussion
i've been to the "pivot area" -- it's full of old russian women arguing with each other at a bazaar
True but also full of resources. Funny comment.
It's the only warmth they ever feel!
A group from an Indian Tribe came down to Montreal in 71 on finding out the Canadian Government innded to put a dam in that must flood their living & hunting grounds.. We managed to contact them to sympathetic lawyers who tried to help represent them. This tribe were certanly not oppresed or held down by hundreds of years of terror. They were a very happy tribe. But were unaware of how our societies work. They needed to leave four or five of their tribe to work with these lawyers & sympathetic journalists we knew or even politicians. But they simply buggered off laughing in great good humour. I fear and I'm almost sure their living & hunting grounds are now flooded over.
58:13 when has anything ended well that the US WERE involved in, since ww2 at least?
Didn't seem to say much about anything.. can't believe he didn't mention the shipping channels opening up in the Arctic.. and i thought they had already found oil up there?
The Philosophy for Broader Survival is the best path to 'pan-humanism'.
Dear Director I'm an ICU and anaesthetist International Doctor also Humanitarian finishing my PhD in Diplomacy and strategy at CEDS Dakar . Thanks a lot for your topic covered . Take care of your heart I feel you really passionate and leaving with compassion in this field of International relations. Peace, collaboration,solidarity,tolerance, justice, weither than predation or competition will save the world. Economic wars are not up-to-date. Needs are increasing so growth too should increase. The resources are only waiting to be share equally and fairly.
Brilliant talk.
Although the GB does not have an Arctic coast, it may be mandated by the native arctic peoples, so it could also win a slice of the pie, like Russia!!
what kind of job can you have with a geopolitics master's degree
It’s difficult to visit google , Twitter and social media in China but not impossible with VPN
Sir i need to understand geopolitics in eritrea ( east africa) how was earler and how could be besser do you think ? Thanks
I like the idea of a cosmopolitan humanity
The complex reality can never be solved
until we return to acknowledge the sacred rights of the American natives to be rejuvenated , blessed and honoured. We are a weak, cowardly and
hypocritical people, given to préjudice against China, well, neratioearlyo from the speaker from t ntheloor f on mahetge floor. Exactly, the China -Laos co-operation is a clear example of China stretching out a good neighbourly hand from China eg. the gift of a HS train
and the construction of a station - of tremendous use to Laotians but that man from the floorb is all too ready to cast China in the black.
Thank you, Google!
This is not geopolitics, geopolitics is generally ethno ambiguous, this man's geopolitics is ethnocentric due to his own biases of intersectionality. Also, Geopolitics doesn't care about the sex of James bond at all.
Geopolitics is a new world order term and it's actually a cover for eugenics. "politics, esp. international relations, as influenced by geographical factors. the study of politics of this type." ethnos ‘nation.’ Latin ambiguus ‘doubtful’ (from ambigere ‘waver, go around,’ from ambi- ‘both ways’ + agere ‘to drive’ )
I could give people ideas but i'm not going to.
"Talks at Google" in other Words: Bullshit
GLOBALIST
😵💫
When you give a conference, thinking that you are an expert about Geopolitics and let everyone else discover that you´re an expert about nothing!
😂😂
Every answer he gives to a question is a non-answer. Disappointing talk.
you are sick, extremist this is deeper far from ur understanding. u will be surprised
😍 🙏 🙏 👍
Well, that view on trump didn't age well

I'd like to share the real genius of XiJinPing in sharing his mission vision of The Belt and Road with the global world in Davos when he talked about China opening up.
I was sad to hear you nearly fallen to making negative opinion about Xi's Belt n Road having 6 routes. Xi and the Chinese had %explored trade routes geo- economically since the12century.
It's sad to hear of your suspicions about Xi JinPing's
BELT And Road
... if you know China well, picture Xi, the great mariner and leader for global trade . Xi looks at the massive China
with trade routes spreading from Beijing, Xian, Urumqi, Shanghai and Xiamen... He sees many rich states which will find trade routes from the Chinese capitals and states with huge amounts of goods and food, surpluses which can be traded if they build routes to join states and countries. E.g. from Beijing, he can make a road through the central Asian states, Tajikistan, from Xian to Kazakhstan...from Xiamen with so much tea through the South China Sea , Malacca Straits... from SHANGHAI towards Korea, Japan and Australia NZ, from
Xi an through Pakistan, Iran etc.... these routes are manned by trains, ships, planes etc..
if we look at the stans stares of Central Asia, we can see how a train running from China through Central Asia to reach Dortmund ,Germany....
When talking about China, you literally should've not expect these westerners have any positive opinion. His opinion just not out of my expectation.
Eugenics new mask and word is Geopolitics, & and Why Big oil Conquered the World.
Check with a dictionary or wikipedia, before you share your wisdom.

M'sheArt2 indeed thanks for the green agenda link.
I liked these.
"It's not 2,500 people offering their consensus, I participated in that. Each person who is an author writes one or two pages in conjunction with someone else. They travel around the world several times a year for several years to write it and the summary for policymakers has the input of a handful of scientists, but ultimately, it is written by representatives of governments, and of environmental organizations, each pushing their own agenda." - MIT's Professor of Atmospheric Science Dr. Richard Lindzen on the IPCC report.
Czech President Klaus stated “It is not fair to refer to the UN panel as a group of scientists. The IPCC is not a scientific institution. It's a political body, a sort of non-government organization of green flavour. It's neither a forum of neutral scientists nor a balanced group of scientists. These people are politicized scientists, and UN bureaucrats, who arrive there with a one-sided opinion and a one-sided assignment."

No shit sherlock.
"before the end of the decade, we will put a small Russian flag on the undersea surface of the Arctic sea" -- Putin (and they did!)
Good job bringing identity politics into geopolitics fucking Google.
This video autoplayed for me after I was watching another geopolitics video. I was disappointed. This guy throws out a lot of buzzwords without much substance. Also the left wing political bias is evident.
I'm so sick of these women.
Please for the sake of equality can you ask a man to host one of these?
Oh is that a man? I'm sorry.
@@kerisuthecynic8979 don't you get sarcasm?
@@kerisuthecynic8979 Opie and Anthony had a skit one tiem, guess if the guy is British or gay. It was the funniest skit.
lmao this dude thinks he understands geopolitics but he falls for every propaganda campaign they put out...
This has to be the worst introduction into geopolitics. So biased
No excuse is needed for the evil of the Vietnam war.' Certainly not to be reminded for the little countries from Cambodia to Malaya . King Shihan'ouk had the freedom to be friends with China. The US bombings from Vietnam to Laos is a geopolitical crime crippling the innocent peasants of SE Asia.
Good you bring in the indigenous people of the Artic likewise we mmever forget lamenting for the disappearance of the native Americans ---Geo Humanists decry the genocide of the USA and British geopoliticians.
