It is maintained by certain writers that geographical and physical conditions greatly influence the character, the national life of the people, and their political institutions.

Aristotle was of the opinion that without geography neither political nor strategically wisdom can go far. Bodin was the first modem writer who dwelt upon the relationship between Political Science and Geography.

Rousseau tried to establish a relationship between climatic conditions and forms of government. He argued that warm climates are conducive to despotism, cold climates to barbarism and moderate climates to a good polity. Montesquieu, another French scholar, also emphasised the influence of physical environments on the forms of government and liberty of the people.
