From the Paper:

"The concept of geopolitics is directly related to the ideas articulated by Halford Mackinder in his attempt to promote the field of geography as an aid to British diplomacy (Agnew, 1989). His concept of geopolitics was intended to show the impact of geographical factors such as the spatial disposition of the continents and oceans, and the distribution of natural and human resources. In the 1920s and 1930s, Mackinder's idea of a Eurasian "heartland" rising to global dominance was adopted by certain Nazi theorists to justify German expansionism.

Boudeville (1966) has pointed out that the concept of geoeconomics followed the concept of geopolitics as articulated by Mackinder. Boudeville maintains that geoeconomics is a concept of economic space which includes such items as investment capital, transportation networks, industry, and agricultural techniques."
