Norman Angell and Sir Halford Mackinder were contemporaries with similar backgrounds in early 20th century England, but their theories of international relations could hardly have been more different. The world wars seemed to confirm the importance of what Mackinder had to say and discredit Angell, but today the outlook is quite different. Now that major, great power war is all but obsolete, Angell's ideas about the futility of war seem to have been taken to heart by policy makers in the most powerful states. Many of the core concepts of geopolitics, including “relative gains” and the balance of power itself, are irrelevant for the states at the upper levels of the system. A century after Mackinder and Angell wrote, the fortunes of their theories have been reversed—and that reversal is likely permanent. |
