Jeostrateji

Jeostrateji, jeopolitiğin bir alt dalı, siyasi ve askeri planlamayı bilgi açısından destekleyen, tutarlı hale gelmesini sağlayan veya etkileyen coğrafik etkenler tarafından ilkesel olarak rehberliği yapılan bir dış politika çeşididir.

Bütün stratejilerde olduğu gibi, jeostrateji hedeflere ulaşmak için seçileceklerle ilgilidir.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} Bu durumda üzerine yoğunlaşılacak olunan unsurlar, bir ülkenin (yerel, bölgesel veya küresel düzeyde düşünülen) hedefleri ile (kıt veya bol olmaları açısından) kaynaklarıdır . Gray and Sloan'a göre coğrafya "stratejinin anası"dır.^[6]
