Sir Halford Mackinder and Norman Angell were two British scholars who wrote two distinct theories on international relations which have become the benchmarks for further studies on world politics. In today's scenario, Mackinder's concept of great power geopolitics accepted after the world wars has given way to Angell's theory that all major power wars between nations are futile and nearly a century after the theory was written Norman Angell's vision has found justification.
