The academic publications included in the volume Dissertationes academicae geopoliticae (Papazisi, Athens 2015) examine various aspects of International Relations. In this paper we examine the spatial geopolitical orientation of states/empires and the definition of main axes of geopolitical influence in Ioannis Mazis’s Scientific Research Programme, as this is manifested in his academic articles, published in English, French and Italian.
