Geopolitics

"Geopolitics" word encomposses history, geograpy, politics, social science, and economy.
When I think,"geopolitically istanbul", it means that what is the history of the city? Why the city is important? What is the location of Istanbul in the world? How is and was governing the city? How is and was the social structure of the city? Lastly, how these circumstances affected the city economically?
To find answer to these questions I read an article. The name of the article is "Perspectives on European Politics and Society situating Turkey within the Europian Union" were written by Zeynep Capan and Ozge Onursal. I could not find direct answers but, the article tells about Turkish goverments` attempts to enter European Union.
