Spykman
Nicholas Spykman proposed the Rimland Theory of Geopolitics. He suggested that control over the area surrounding Eurasia, known as the Rimland, was more crucial than control over the Heartland (central Eurasia) for global dominance.
Rimland theories of geopolitics, popularized by Nicholas Spykman, emphasize the strategic significance of coastal areas and maritime trade routes. They argue that control of the "rimland" surrounding Eurasia, rather than just the heartland, is crucial for global power. This theory complements Mackinder's heartland theory and highlights the importance of naval power and alliances in global politics.

Spykman's theory, known as the "Rimland Theory," posits that the coastal fringes of Eurasia, rather than the interior, are the key to global power. Nicholas Spykman argued that control of this "Rimland" region, which includes Western Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, is essential for maintaining influence over the world. He suggested that whoever dominates the Rimland can control the heartland and, by extension, the world. This theory emphasizes the strategic importance of maritime borders and alliances in geopolitics.

Yes, plantations are often found on the rimland due to its fertile soil and favorable climate for agricultural activities. The rimland regions of countries tend to have large areas of land suitable for growing crops such as bananas, sugar cane, and coffee, making them ideal for plantation agriculture.
