CABRERA TOLEDO, Lester. The link between geopolitics and security: a conceptual and theoretical assessment. URVIO [online]. 2017, n.20, pp.111-125. ISSN 1390-4299.  https://doi.org/10.17141/urvio.20.2017.2578.

The present article seeks to establish a theoretical discussion about the link between geopolitics and security. In this sense, the discussion is seen from a point of view on the evolution of the relationship between geopolitics and security, particularly on the way in which both conflicting processes and the actors involved are understood. Thus, it is established the linkage from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present, where it is perceived the need to understand both geopolitics and security from other points of view, in which even its basic elements are questioned. It concludes that a holistic understanding of both perspectives is required to understand and explain the new conflicting phenomena, without ruling out the totality of the classical postulates.

Keywords : Geopolitics; Security; State; Theory.
