PHILOSOPHICAL AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL CONCEPTUALIZATION OF POLITICAL GEOGRAPHY

Abstract

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Philosophical dimensions of space, society, and communities hold great significance today and have been the subject of study by both domestic and Western scholars. This theme has deep roots in philosophy and geography, with initial approaches linking the development of nations and peoples to their territories. These views found expression in geographic determinism, as seen in the works of Montesquieu, and the ideas of “geosophy” by J. K. Wright. The research objective. The primary goal of this study is to provide a philosophical perspective on the complex nature of politics in the context of its interaction with various aspects of the geographical and cultural environment. The statement of basic materials. The anthropological approach to political geography sheds light on the role of sociocultural factors in political processes, including: the influence of cultural values, religious beliefs, traditions, and language policies on political activities. The interplay between culture and politics, particularly in the perception of political candidates and the formation of political identities. The impact of globalization on political geography and the challenges it poses to politics and geopolitics. Globalization affects politics and society by: increasing interdependence among countries and regions. Necessitating adaptation to changes in the global system and the development of effective political strategies. Influencing national political systems through global economics, international trade, and organizations. Contemporary challenges and opportunities include: collaborative international decision-making and addressing global issues, such as climate change and mass migration. The role of the internet and social media in political communication, mobilization of civil society, and the dissemination of political information.
