ABSTRACT: In the current international economic situation, the
oceans and seas started to play a key role in the geopolitical balance of power
between the coastal States. This article explores the concept of geopolitics,
establishing a discussed relationship between such a concept and the
considerations of coastal State and their territorialism policies. The concept
of geopolitics cannot be simply understood as a condition of the position of a
state in the international arena or its territorial ambition. The novel global
ocean concept encompasses economic conditions facing the systemic combination
of contemporary forces. Issues to be considered are maybe beyond the Convention
on International Law of the Sea scenario in a dynamic economic and political
international ocean.
