The same year, the great British thinker Halford Mackinder formulated the Heartland Theory in his paper on "The Geographical Pivot of History". This is often considered as a founding moment of geopolitics as a field of study.

At the end of World War 2, Ferdinand Eberstadt was asked by Secretary of the Navy James V.Forrestal to analyze and make recommendations for improving coordination among US foreign policy, defense policy, and intelligence. The resulting report recommended the creation of the National Security Council, the Department of Defense, the CIA, and the Air Force; it also argued that these institutions should remain conceptually agile to meet any challenge or threat the the US might face. /International good faith: an introduction to the 10th anniversary issue; the review of Faith and international affairs, 2013, volume 11, page 1/
