ABSTRACT
The region has always played an important part in the geopolitical discourse. Be it a Haushoferian idea of pan-regions or later, the Saul B. Cohen idea of geostrategic and geopolitical regions, this term was used to describe an important unit of the political game. The basic idea behind "regional geopolitics" is partially based on the conviction that each of the V4 countries shares a similar understanding of the geopolitical vision of the regional setting, possessing at the same time its perspective. The chapter focuses on the phenomena of regional geopolitics through Central European lenses. Looking at Polish geopolitical imaginations from an analytical perspective, it is clear that the notion of 'geopolitical' in Poland is perceived mainly in classical terms, that is, as understood by geopolitical writers in the late 19th/early 20th century, or as presented by Henry Kissinger or Zbigniew Brzezinski in their works.
