WHAT DOES RIMLAND MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Rimland

The Rimland is a concept championed by Nicholas John Spykman, professor of international relations at Yale University. To him geopolitics is the planning of the security policy of a country in terms of its geographical factors. He described the maritime fringe of a country or continent; in particular the densely populated western, southern, and eastern edges of the Eurasian continent. He criticized Mackinder for overrating the Heartland as being of immense strategic importance due to its vast size, central geographical location and supremacy of land power rather than sea power. He assumed that the Heartland will not be a potential hub of Europe, because: ▪ Western Russia was then an agrarian society ▪ Bases of industrialization were found to the west of the Ural mountains. ▪ This area is ringed to the north, east south and south-west by some of the greater obstacles to transportation. ▪ There has never really been a simple land power–sea power opposition. Spykman thought that the Rimland, the strip of coastal land that encircles Eurasia, is more important than the central Asian zone for the control of the Eurasian continent.
