Looking forward to discussing with colleagues in person, I would emphasize 2 points: firstly, the necessity to clearly distinguish in our rhetoric between the scientific (geopolitical) and ethnocentric (geostrategic) discourses and on the usefulness of Geo-politics as a science of peace, and secondly, the need to include in geopolitical curricula the political-philosophical views of the great geopoliticians, which remain unfortunately often in the dark.
