While organic theories of how nation-states behave and exist in a similar way to organisms (relating to geopolitical actions and ambitions) were written by early German writers such as Ratzel and Haushofer (although they existed before this), who they have tended to be adopted by authoritarian regimes and have been extended to the use of repression. These models can be seen to work in combination with each other and form the backbone of geopolitical theory and can be widely applied. But originally they were ideas conceived with a very different world in mind than the current one. It would therefore be interesting to see whether modern nation states, in the face of globalization (whereby the proper role of states has been redefined) still adhere to these theoretical frameworks regarding the way they conduct geopolitical activity.
