Sumario:The purpose of this paper is to discuss the concept of critical geopolitics in epistemological, theoretical and methodological terms, and its connection with international studies. It will analyze the scope, limits and contributions of the concept, comparing the classic and critical postulates of geopolitics, and establishing a link with the reality of South America, a region where geopolitical knowledge has seen significant development. It concludes that the connection between the classic and critical notion of geopolitics is necessary, in order to bring about an updating of the postulates of the discipline that still dominate in South America.
