■ Title   Special Section "Discussing Geopolitics" - Part III. The Pivot Moves Eastward: Mackinder and the Okinawa Problem

■ Outline   The three papers in this Special Section are based on a graduate-level intensive course titled "The Origins of Geopolitical Thinking", which was part of the Postgraduate General Course at the University of Tsukuba in spring 2010. The second contribution deals with Sir Halford Mackinder's heartland theory and tries to apply it to the "Okinawa problem", i.e. the question of the US-army bases in Okinawa.   Christian W.
