Description :
The « New Geography » in England, usually identified with the establishment of geographical teaching in the universities of Oxford and Cambridge was based on Mackinder's interpretation in his paper « On the scope and methods of geography ».

The « New Geography » found a practical role in the « New Army », complementary to that conventionally understood in the universities.
