Political power is expressed geographically as control over people, land, and resources, as illustrated by neocolonialism, shatter-belts, and choke points.
neocolonialism: control by a powerful country of its former colonies (or other less developed countries) by economic pressures.
shatter-belts: a region caught between stronger colliding external cultural-political forces, under persistent stress, and often fragmented by aggressive rivals (e.g., Israel or Kashmir today; Eastern Europe during the Cold War,...).
choke points: a geographical feature on land such as a valley, defile or a bridge, or at sea such as a straight which an armed force is forced to pass, therefore greatly decreasing its combat, in order to reach its objective.
2) Territoriality is the connection of people, their culture, and their economic systems to the land.
