Abstract
The aim of this paper is a political-geographical analysis of the foreign policy of the Slovak Republic using GIS tools. We analysed the institutional aspect of foreign policy on the basis of the current number of diplomatic representative offices of the Slovak Republic in the world. We used GIS tools for spatial analysis and visualization of honorary consulate offices of the SR. In order to compare spatial visualisation of the consulates we analyse the spatial localisation by Gastner-Newman cartogram and Hot spots analyses. The partial aim of our paper was the analysis of the spatial differentiation of the consulates in relation to several attributes of the world states.
Keywords: political geography, the foreign policy of the Slovak Republic, GIS, honorary consulate office
