Writes Paper
On Mackinder
nui
Co
A Texas A&M University
transportation researcher is au
thor of the article “Maekinder’s
Heartland and Escalation Ratch
et” which appears in the Novem
ber issue of Military Review, the
agazine of the U. S. Army
onwnand and General Staff Col
lege at Fort Leavenwerth, Kan.
The author is WilHana D.
Franklin, assistant research
economist in the Texas Trans
portation Institute.
His article presents the widely
accepted heartland theories of
the late Sir Halford J. Maekin-
der, a famous British geogra
pher, and examines them in the
light of thermonuclear conflict
and limited war, shtee they have
Sserved as the basis for most
analyses of national strategy
since 1942.
THE HEARTLAND WAS con
sidered by Mackinder as the piv
ot area of world pevrar, aeeord-
ing to the article. Me vwwwd the
■world as a Mereator projection
lin attributing overwhelming im
portance to the continental heart-
|land—“Who rules eastern Europe
[■Commands the heeartlwMl; who
[rules the heartland eommands
phe world.”
I In his article Franklin linked
fthe Mackinder theory with a con-
|cept in economics relating to son-
reversible cyclical ftactfcdrtsiOtos is
conomic activity which results in
hat is known as a ratchet ef-
ect.
Such a concept would be ap-
ropriate in relation to controlled
scalation. With each step up-
ard on the escalation scale, it
|becomes progressively more dif-
icult to move back down the
•ca)e, thereby resufoing in a non-
wmsVoVfe eflwA.
This means that each decision
o escalate must be considered
arefully at the highest military
nd civilian decision-making lev-
1s before being implemented,
ranklin states.
Prof Scrutinizes
Education Topics
Dr. Roger L. Harrell of Texas
A&M is scrutinizing, first-hand,
orkings of the U. S. Office of
ducation and federal-state edu-
ational relationships.
The assistant professor «tf o*hi-
ation is on a year's leave of ab
sence to participate in a model
raining course conducted by the
National Institute of FubHc Af
fairs.
Harrell works in various posi
tions in the Washington office
and attends weekend institutes
along with other course work.
“THE TRAINING course deals
with Office of Edacation pro
grams, other agencies concerned
with education and federal-state
relationships of major depart
ments and agencies whose re
sponsibilities are related to fed
eral programs,” explained Dr.
Paul Hensarling, A&M’s Educa
tion and Psychology Department
head.
“The course supplements work
experience fora better awder-
standing of how national policies
for education are developed and
implemented,” he went on.
Democratic government theory,
political and policy-making proc
esses are among topics studied.
Two-day conferences next June
will assess the pilot program.
