Geopolitics of political systems and their spatial dimensions (The Russian system as an example)

Abstract

The political system represents the tool through which the state controls its vital institutions and manages its natural and human resources through the laws and policies determined by the prevailing political system in the state, This reflects the nature of the difference in international internal and external policies and the way they interact with their regional and international surroundings, by exploiting the state’s available resources and harnessing them to serve its political system, as Germany did after World War II, and the Nazi Party’s exploitation of German resources and exploiting geographical characteristics and harnessing them to extend the influence of government and expand it beyond the borders of Germany. This paved the way. As signs of World War II appeared, It confirms the necessity of political systems using state resources in a specific geopolitical policy with a strategic spatial dimension that serves the interests of the ruling regime in that country, as Russia has a highly dynamic political system and a broad geopolitical vision towards the geographical environment at the regional and international levels, which has contributed to Russia’s political orientation. Politically and economically And militarily towards the countries of the region, including Central Asia, Ukraine, and the Crimean Peninsula, according to a geographical vision that reflects the reality of the Russian regime, And its expansionist dimensions and the attempt to eliminate the problem of the unipolar theory. The study showed that the Russian expansion began within the eastern borders of Ukraine, extending towards the west and south towards the Crimean Peninsula, which is controlled by Russia, with a war of depletion of resources and the creation of a geographical corridor towards Crimea.
