Dr Gérard Dussouy (1945, Saint Jean de Luz) has studied economics, geography and political science. Currently, Mr Dussouy -who holds the French nationality- is professor in Geopolitics at the University of Bordeaux. His third book in the series "Traité de Relations Internationales" -about globalisation- appeared in 2009.
The "Geopolitical Passport" series aims to humanise geopolitics by offering geopolitical specialists an opportunity to give their views on this discipline. The interviews address issues such as the rationale behind their decision to conduct geopolitical research, their favourite books and their expectations regarding the geopolitical future.
I discovered geopolitics in the 1970s, initially as a potential explanation in the history of the empires.
Power, because the world space is organized by power (under its various faces). Politics would not exist without power.
My concept of systemic geopolitics, I think, because it gives meaning to geopolitics, and allows it to overpass its original reductionist character (when classical geopolitics explains relationship between IR and physical geography).
Geopolitics is both a spatial ontology about the organization of the world and a hermeneutics of Globality. The goal of geopolitics is to analyse the world configuration formed by the interaction of the strategies of the actors in the space, and to interpret its possible evolution.
I have not one in particular.
I have not one. My preference goes to IR books.
My last favourite IR book is "System Effects. Complexity in Political and Social Life" (Robert Jervis, Princeton University Press, 1999).
The book shows why the world system is built by the interaction of the strategies. And why this interaction is difficult to evaluate.
ExploringGeopolitics, as it is really international.
Multidimensional and systemic. I hope.
It is necessary to develop geoeconomics, geodemographics, geoculture, and especially to work upon the interactions, the interfaces.
To understand and interpret the Globality, i.e. geopolitics needs to be transformed into a geopolitics of globality, and for that, tools need to be developed.
