Ratzel “States have many of the characteristics of living organisms. He introduced the idea that a state had to grow, spread or die within living boundaries.

Kjellen State as living organisms 1916 Creator of the word Geopolitica

Haushofer modernized political geography, using it as an instrument that justified the territorial expansion of Germany during the Third Reich and developing Ratzel's theories of living space (Lebensraum)

20th century Alexander Seversky in his work "Air Power: key to survival" argued that because of its efficiency and speed, air power is more important than land and sea power and stated his maxim "whoever achieves air supremacy will obtain global power ".

Nicholas Spykman, postulated in his work "United States against the World" (1942), that "whoever achieves control of the peripheral areas or Rimland of the Eurasian continent would rule Eurasia". He is considered the ideologue of containment during the cold war, and of the projection of the North American national power even in the XXI century.

The Brazilian, Argentine and Chilean geopolitical schools that during the period 1956 - 1972 developed geopolitics under the approach of the expansion of internal borders, which recognizes that geographical, political, social and historical conditions within the geographical space of States can limit the development of regions and even isolate these from the Heartland of the nation.

Concepts

Ritter "considering Geography as a science of the living globe, studies the moral and material aspects of the world, to foresee and guide the development of nations, deeply influenced by geographic factors"

Mackinder "Geopolitics, or geographic politics, is conditioned by the physical realities of the geography of countries. Political questions depend on the results of the incidents between man and his environment"

Kejjelen "is the theory of the State as a geographical organism or phenomenon in space, that is, the State as land (country), territory, domain or more distinctly as a kingdom. As Political Science it always has in view the unity of the State."

Ratzel "science that establishes that geographical characteristics and conditions and, very especially, large spaces, play a decisive role in the life of States and that the individual and human society depend on the soil in which they live"
