The essay focuses on the link between space and politics in Friedrich Ratzel’s thought, where the concept of space and of the struggle for space is central in the definition of State goals in Wilhelminian Germany. By placing Ratzel’s political geography in the context of geographical, philosophical and sociological debates around the nature of space, the essays recognizes in it a political critique both against legal conceptions of politics, reducing space to territory, and understandings of politics centered on the ethnical unity of the people. Both need to be overcome in favor of a spatial Realpolitik.
