What is Geosecurity? Where are the Sovereign States? When does the Law of Occupation apply? Why are Geography and History taught as separate subjects when they are so clearly linked and always have been? Which qualities are required for a Country to be categorised as either a Nation, a Nation-State, a State, a Sovereign State, a Partially Sovereign State, a Non-Sovereign State, a Territory, a Union, or a Failed State? How has Globalisation shaped Geopolitics? I always teach the class, even if there is only one learner enrolled, so please do not worry about the cancellation of my classes if you should receive an automated email from Outschool stating that the class might be canceled if enrolment is too low. When applicable, I may screen share slides from Google Slides and media from YouTube.
