This made distinct the politicalimportance of some regions or points in the world map.In other words, these experts withconsidering human and natural circumstances of different regions and with presentation ofgeopolitical reasoning introduced the very important regions or places entitled strategic regionor places. Moreover,theyencouraged the politicians and decision makers for dominance andinfiltrating to these geographical spaces.From the other side,it is clear that the political importance of regions and places is not fixedduring time and especially human made factorscan change the importance of different regionsand this has caused the concept of strategic regions as dynamic concept. Thus, thesefactorscould be creating new important regions or points that there is not being in the pasttime.In this regard, in the former century the concept of strategic region was entitled to veryimportant military regions or places. But, in recent decades with new upheaval of politicalcircumstances, we could outline new important regionsor places in the entire world that do nothave only military significant. For example, inpast three decades, all states in the worldhavebeen faced with financial outflows management institutions in global scale in some  development states.Theyhave very powerful efficiencies to affecteconomical polices of thestates. Therefore, other states could not violate the economical approaches and polices of theseinstitutions.With paying attention to functionalstates of these institutions, this question is posedthat could we consider these institutions as hot points in the political geography of the world? Inthe other words, could we take consider these institutions and their places as strategic place?MethodologyThis paper seeks to answer the question: “are there financial strategic places in the world? Ifthese factors are so, in this paper this question is posed that is there any possibility foradjustment in the concept of strategic regions and places with places of finical management andcontrol flow of investment, financial and money in global scale?In this paper with analysis and description approach we have struggled to make adjustmentsbetween indicators of strategic regions and places and functions of economic global institutionssuch as GAAT, World Bank, I.M.F and so on. In this way, at first stage atrusty and validbibliographywas used to explain the strategic regions concept. Then, with extraction offunctions and explaining about the management and conduction of financial outflow by globalfinancial institutions and combination of this functions and factors with indicators of strategicregion, we could introduce new meaning and examples about strategic region concept.Results and DiscussionGlobalization and increase in mutual rate in commercial and financial fields mayupgrade theimportance of some points on geographical space of development countries. In other words,there are some economical institutions on this points where have effective impacts on othergeographical spaces.In fact, nowadays, we have been faced with economical outflowsinterchange increasingly between thecountries with these points. Therefore, changing nature ofeconomic system hascaused global economic institutions that play very significant rolein theworld. Thus, at present, these institutions have very effective role in global power structure.Obviously, principal reason for importance of these points consequent production ormanagement continuing outflow of money in these points and distribution of them to anothergeographical space. It is clear that, this efficiency has been caused a kind of virtual state in thesepoints. Therefore, economic globalization processes have caused that whole of state in the worldfeel involuntary from global authority financial institutions. These processes oblige the state thatcomplied from the policies of these institutions and they should adjust their economic programwith the goals of these institutions. Therefore, these institutions according to their importanceopen new fields for geopolitical studies. Therefore, atpresent, financial management institutionsin global economy have very important placing in geopolitical studies.ConclusionThe results of this research reveal that the places of financial management and control in globalscale, considering cumulative globalization process and for their roles in this process havestrategic importance.We could consider these places as strategic places.}, keywords = {economic,Financial Outflow,Geopolitics,management,Strategic Location}, title_fa = {کانون‎های جغرافیایی مدیریت جریان سرمایه در مقیاس جهانی و ظهور مفهوم نقاط استراتژیک مالی}, abstract_fa = {اندیشمندان ژئوپلیتیک طی سدۀ گذشته، همواره درصدد بوده‎اند که به فراخور شرایط طبیعی و انسانی مناطق مختلف و با ارائۀ استدلال‎های لازم، اهمیت سیاسی برخی کانون‎ها و نقاط جغرافیایی را پُررنگ‎تر کرده و سیاستمداران را برای نفوذ، تسلط و مدیریت این‎گونه فضاها، ترغیب کنند. بدیهی است اهمیت سیاسی مکان‎ها و فضاهای مختلف در طول زمان ثابت ‎نبوده و به‎ویژه، ممکن است تحت تأثیر عوامل انسان‎ساخت، دچار ارتقا و دگرگونی شود. در این راستا، توسعۀ فزایندۀ جهانی‎شدن و شبکه‎ای‎شدن فعالیت‎های اقتصادی، سبب اهمیت‎یافتن نهادهای مدیریت جریان‎های سرمایه و پول در مقیاس جهانی و مکان‎های استقرار آنها شده است؛ زیرا این نهادها پتانسیل‎ها و توانایی‎های فزاینده‎ای در تأثیرگذاری بر دیگر مکان‎ها و فضاهای جغرافیایی دارند و با توجه به وابستگی روزافزون حکومت‎ها به آنها، اهمیت فزاینده‎ای برای آنها تصور می‎شود. در نوشتار پیش رو، این پرسش مطرح است که آیا امکان تطبیق تعریف مفهوم مکان و فضای استراتژیک با مکان‎های کنترل و مدیریت جریان‎های سرمایه و تولید در مقیاس جهانی وجود دارد؟ در سیر انجام این پژوهش، کوشش‎شده با رویکردی توصیفی ـ تحلیلی، این نهادها در دو قالب نهادهای مالی ـ اقتصادی جهانی و شرکت‎های چندملیتی مورد بحث و بررسی قرار گرفته و سپس شاخص‎های استراتژیک این مکان‎ها و نقاط با تعریف مفهوم مکان و فضای استراتژیک تطبیق داده شود. یافته‎های پژوهش نشان می‎دهد که امروزه نقاط راهبری و مکان‎های راهبری و هدایت جریان سرمایه با توجه به گسترش فزایندۀ فرایند جهانی‎شدن اقتصاد و عملکردی که در این فرایند برعهده دارند، از اهمیت استراتژیک برخودارند و می‎توان آنها را به‎مثابۀ مصادیق جدیدی از مفهوم مکان و فضای استراتژیک پذیرفت.}, keywords_fa = {اقتصاد,جریان سرمایه,ژئوپلیتیک,مدیریت,مکان استراتژیک}, url = {https://jhgr.ut.ac.ir/article_50590.html}, eprint = {https://jhgr.ut.ac.ir/article_50590_3ffa6338e5d8b3f4142c23480befcbc2.pdf} }
