Veprintsev, V.B. Information in territorial and geopolitical categories.
Abstract: The growing value of information component in the sphere of human vital functions is one of the most
significant processes, causing the geopolitical transformation. In the process of development of the human civilization
the value of information and knowledge (knowledge-decisions) in raising efficiency of the human communities creating institutionally formed subjects of geopolitical relations is ever-growing. Evaluation of the information in the
territorial categories regarding geopolitical goals and purposes of the human society may be implemented within
the two main aspects: those of nature and civilization (anthropogenic). The methodological basis for the studies was
formed with the systemic, structural-functional, comparative political, information-related approaches, methods of
analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, modeling, observation. The natural aspect of existing information in time
and space of material world is well-studied in Russian science in particular. According to the attributive concept of
perception of an information as a matter, it is a quality of all material objects, that is, it is a material attribute. The
modern information studies define information as the fundamental basis and the general quality of the universe,
existing independently from us, and being manifested in the 3-dimensional process of interaction of micro- and
macro- processes of energy, movement and mass in time and space.
