Le titre de ce 200e numéro s'est spontanément imposé : Cinquante ans de géopolitique. Hommage à Yves Lacoste, car nul ne met en doute que ce grand géographe – tellement atypique dans la corporation des géographes – a eu un rôle déterminant dans le retour désormais incontestable de la géopolitique, tant chez les universitaires, qu'ils soient géographes, politistes spécialistes des relations internationales ou historiens spécialistes de l'histoire contemporaine, que chez les journalistes qui furent les premiers à s'en emparer. Ce numéro commence par un regard rétrospectif sur l'histoire d' Hérodote, sur la méthode mise en oeuvre au fil des numéros et sur les thèmes majeurs qui caractérisent l'approche géopolitique de la revue. La deuxième partie est quant à elle prospective puisque y sont abordées sous des angles inhabituels des questions géopolitiques actuelles.
