Description
Summary:Although the concepts of "geostrategy" and "geoeconomy" are rather old, they have been eclipsed for a long while by the terms "strategy" and "geopolitics", capturing the attention of the general audience just recently, due to the spectacular mutations which occurred in an ever-increasingly turbulent and complex world. Overall, starting with the deepening of the globalisation process, the power elements in international relations are transferred from the political-military side to the commercial-military one. In other words, power is no longer based exclusively on military might and control over a specific territory, larger or smaller (depending on the classical "sphere of influence"), but on the ability and capacity to integrate into the global economy. This study aims to clarify the terminology in this field and highlight the rather complicated relationship between geostrategy and geoeconomy.
