		The Heartland theory, on the other hand, hypothesized the possibility for a huge empire to be brought into existence which didn't need to use coastal or transoceanic transport to supply its military industrial complex, and that this empire could not be defeated by all the rest of the world coalitioned against it.
		The basic notions of Mackinder's theory involve considering the geography of the Earth as being divided into a variation on the notion of the Old World (most of the Eastern Hemisphere) and the New World (the Western Hemisphere and what was called Oceania).
		For a time it seemed as though the theory was defunct, at first because conventional air force had been falsely touted as capable of destroying industries thousands of miles from the seacoast, and shortly afterward with the appearance of nuclear weapons.

	Geopolitics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The doctrine of Geopolitics gained attention largely through the work of Sir Halford Mackinder in England and his formulation of the Heartland Theory in 1904.
		The Heartland theory hypothesized the possibility for a huge empire to be brought into existence in the Heartland, which would not need to use coastal or transoceanic transport to supply its military industrial complex, and that this empire could not be defeated by all the rest of the world coalitioned against it.
		The Heartland contained the grain reserves of Ukraine, and many other natural resources.

		Later, he called the pivot area the "Heartland" and devised his famous Heartland Theory: "He who controls the Heartland controls the World Island (Eurasia and Africa); He who controls the World Island, controls the world." Mackinder anticipated that Germany would be a threat to controlling the resources of Eastern Europe and the Heartland.
		This theory contend that the state is like an organism attached to the earth that competes with other states to thrive.
		Spykman eschewed the theory that from economic, political and military point of views, the northern half of the world would always be more important than the southern half, and that the location of a state north or south of the Equator would play a large part in determining the significance of the state.

	Central Europe Review - Europe: What are East and West?
		One theory of particular personal interest has been that of H J Mackinder, who in 1904 introduced the concept of the Eurasian heartland.
		Socially, the heartland and the protective periphery incorporated those people who were deemed by the West to be different in culture and civilisation.
		However, his models still apply if you are prepared to treat the heartland as in a continual state of flux, changing with the historical developments it encourages, redefining regions and transforming the balance of power.

	EURASIAN MOVEMENT
		A geopolitical theory called Eurasianism has become the common focus of Russia's "red-brown" coalition-the alliance of ultra-left and ultra-right politicians who together control close to half of the Duma (Russia's lower house of parliament) and who grow stronger each day, as Russia's economic crisis radicalizes the country's long-suffering population.
		But in its hard-line version, the movement envisions the Eurasian heartland as the geographic launch pad for a global anti-Western movement whose goal is the ultimate expulsion of "Atlantic" (read: "American") influence from Eurasia.
		The theory is a direct descendant of the Slavophile movement of the nineteenth century, now retooled for the 21st.

		His Heartland concept recalled the 18th-century strategists' notion of the "key position" on the battlefield,[7] the recognition of which was crucial to victory.
		Mackinder's theories might have faded into irrelevance were it not for their apparent influence on the foreign policy of Nazi Germany.
		The theories of Mackinder and the geopoliticians still linger, affecting the ways that our policy is made, despite the fact that the foundations upon which those theories are built are intellectually shaky at best.

		With the rise of the idea of quantitative measurement in the physical sciences, for example Lord Rutherford's famous maxim that any knowledge that one cannot measure numerically "is a poor sort of knowledge", the stage was set for the conception of the humanities as being precursors to "social science" was set.
		The Heartland Theory was enthusiastically taken up by the German Nazi regime in the 1930s, in particular by Karl Haushofer.
		The Heartland Theory is mentioned explicitly in The Nazis Strike, the second of Frank Capra's Why We Fight series of American World War II propaganda films, though Mackinder is not named.

	The Resurrection of Jesus
		This theory was originally stated by a man named Venturini a couple of centuries ago, but most recently has been revived by both Muslims and liberals seeking to discount the testimony of the witnesses [xxii].
		Of all the theories that unbelievers have put forth, this one is the theory that would make any reasonable person scratch their head and say, “Huh?” One could perhaps justify in their mind the notion that the disciples might have motivation to steal the body and maybe ginned up enough courage to do so.
		Hebert Casteel describes this theory as saying that the disciples knew fully well that Jesus had not risen from the grave, but fabricated the story that He had [xxvii].

		The theory of the ANFO bomb exploding in a truck on the street and wreaking the kind of damage seen for blocks around is akin to a pea-shooter bringing down a spaceship.
		Theory #2 always had merit but was so hard to prove.
		For three-plus years, I remained satisfied that the building was blown from the inside and that the truck bomb was but a diversionary "firecracker" which might have removed a few windows at best.

	Chapter Three
		The Heartland Theory was proposed by Halford MacKinder that eventually predicted the rise of Russia as a superpower.
		The rise of the Soviet Union seemed to justify his theory particularly due to the expansionist tendencies of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe and the Eurasian landmass.
		Proposed by Nicolas Spykman, this theory states that powers on the "rim" of the Eurasian landmass would rise to economic and military supremacy.

		This paper argues that an over-reliance on liberal demographic transition theory has tended to focus too heavily on national-level universalisable trends and as such has obscured (or ignored) regional variation and divergence in Russian demography.
		Regional differences, which are manifest in social, political, cultural, economic and security dimensions, all condition whether a region can and must adapt to the demographic processes underway, as well as the consequences of such processes for any one region and the cohesion of the state as a whole.

		It combined Friedrich Ratzel's theory on the organic nature of the State along with Sir Halford J. Mackinder's Heartland Theory.
		"Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland; Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island; Who rules the World-Island commands the World." Sir Halford Mackinder, the English geographer who wrote "Democratic Ideals and reality", put this lapidary motto at the basis of his own global geopolitical concept.
		Geopolitics states that the kind of a civilization is to a very great extent predetermined by its geography, landscape, climate, structure of space.

	Geopolitics: Middle Eastern Notes and Anticipations
		Fascism was one, especially its Nazi variant, which was the twisted application of science to the then-young fields of anthropology and cognitive science, leading to the general enthronement of social Darwinism and thence to the specific theories of Aryan racial superiority.
		[4] At base, the Heartland theory, in all its variations, was a simple idea: that relations among states could be reduced for most practical purposes to considerations of relative power—economic capacity, political cohesion, and military might—but that the actual use of that power depended on relative position.
		As naval and air power waxed compared to land power, it was only a matter of time before the Heartland theory was joined, in 1944, by the Rimland theory of Nicholas John Spykman.

	Sempa \| Mackinder’s World (III)
		He described the Heartland in geographical terms as “the northern part and the interior of Euro-Asia,” extending from the Arctic coast down to the central deserts,” flowing westward to “the broad isthmus between the Baltic and Black Seas.” The Heartland concept, he explained, is based on “three separate aspects of physical geography.”
		The Heartland, in essence, wrote Mackinder, was equivalent to the territory of the Soviet Union, minus the land east of the Yenisei River.
		But his theories and concepts proved readily adaptable to the emerging Cold War struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union.
