As we have discussed in class to date, geopolitical images of the
world – although frequently presented as if they come from nowhere
in particular and so reflect everyone‘s understanding of the
geopolitical world – are in fact highly nationally particularistic, with
actors in each state constructing their own geopolitical visions. In
class and in many of our readings this semester, we will be
critically analyzing the US geopolitical visions that inform American
foreign policy and public perceptions of the world. For your first
research paper, you are to choose one or two political leaders from
a country other than the United States, and explore the modern
geopolitical imagination evident in their speeches, statements and
documents. The specifics of this assignment are provided below.
First, select one or two political leaders in a non-US country that you
would like to research. Make sure that foreign policy documents,
reports, and speeches by political elites are available to
you (CAUTION! These are not to be American analyses of the
practical geopolitics of other countries, nor are they to be media or
popular geopolitical sources, but must come directly from official
governmental sources of the country you choose). In addition to hard
copies of official documents, many countries now have English
language versions of this material (i.e., political statements, speeches,
etc.) online. Also, speeches by political leaders at the UN General
Assembly that happen every year can be good sources.
Using these official documents, investigate the geopolitical
imagination present in the practical geopolitical sources you select for
critical analysis.As we did with President
Obama‘s Farewell Address and Donald Trump‘s Inaugural Address,
