Human Behaviour Analysis

One has, I think, to reckon with the fact that there are present in all men destructive, and therefore anti-social and anti-cultural, trends and that in a great number of people these are strong enough to determine their behaviour in human society” (Freud, 1927/1991: 368).

Intelligence Analysis

The application of individual and collective cognitive methods to weigh data and test hypotheses within a secret socio-cultural context. (CIA)

Geopolitics

The theory of the state as a geographical organism or phenomenon in space. It is the “science of the state,” whereby the state’s natural environment provided the framework for a power unit’s pursuit of “inexorable laws of progress.” Rudolf Kjellén.
