Resumen:
The article explores the transformation of geopolitics and its role in contemporary social sciences. It criticizes the model of "classical" or imperialist geopolitics model, which focuses solely on the flawed global-scale analysis, presenting the world as a distorted "game board". It assesses the proposal of Yves Lacoste and the H & eacute;rodote group, who challenge the depoliticization of geography and promote geopolitics not as a field of knowledge but as a method for studying of power rivalries over territories and populations. It reflects on Anglo-Saxon critical geopolitics, whose proposal deconstructs dominant narratives of imperialist geopolitics, and presents important advances in denouncing of state-centrism and forms of domination. Likewise, the analysis focuses on representations of the global scale without seeking a critique of the material bases of systemic reproduction. Finally, it advances the proposal of a negative geopolitics that denounces the epistemological foundations of the classical model, focusing on the material and structural dimensions of social processes within the world-system framework. This perspective highlights the importance of interactions between different scales-global, regional, local, and corporal- in the production of spaces and bodies in the capitalist system, seeking to transform the understanding and practice of geopolitics.
