Mackinder, Sir Halford John (hăl`fərd, məkĭn`dər), 1861–1947, English geopolitician. Educated at Oxford (1887–1905), he led in the revival of British geographical learning.

He was a member of Parliament (1909–22) and later held various imperial posts.

The theory received little attention in Great Britain and the United States before World War II, but the idea of the heartland as a natural seat of power was adopted in Germany, notably by Karl Haushofer, and was used to support Nazi geopolitics geopolitics, method of political analysis, popular in Central Europe during the first half of the 20th cent., that emphasized the role played by geography in international relations.
