Geopolitics is understood as a set of practices and a body of knowledge. This essay aims to uncover the hidden bridge between geopolitical knowledge/practices and law, starting from the primordial event that Schmitt (and before him Hobbes) called the “occupation of land.” The main objective is to focus on the causal links between “external” geopolitical factors and “internal” processes of state will formation. To this end, the investigation compares two doctrines of international relations: realism, in its main variants, and liberalism. It then highlights the analogies between geopolitical realism and Schmitt’s concept of the ‘political,’ based on the friend/enemy distinction. Finally, it examines the crucial issue of war and its relationship with written constitutions.
Keywords: Geopolitics, War, Realism, Capitalism, Will to Power.
