Rimland Theory | Vibepedia

Rimland Theory, a geopolitical concept, posits that control over the 'Rimland'—the crescent-shaped band of territory encircling the Eurasian Heartland—is key to global dominance. This theory has profoundly influenced Cold War strategies and continues to be debated in contemporary international relations, particularly concerning the geopolitical significance of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia.
