The authors of this paper begin by defining geopolitics as a synthetic science, as well as applied geopolitics, constituted in the theoretical level of geopolitics, in an attempt to point to the existing subdisciplines that are already constituted and which categorical-conceptual and methodological apparatus is used for analysis of special, isolated phenomena, such as identity, cyberspace, emotions, etc. Starting from the fact that geopolitics is a complex synthetic science that develops its theoretical steps forward towards constitution of new disciplinary and subdisciplinary dimensions, the authors strive towards constituting a new, original subdiscipline defined as “geopolitics of health”. We are speaking of a discipline of applied geopolitics (applicative geopolitics) that deals with research of the impact of socio-geographical, economic and political factors on endangering health as a public good in the context of geopolitics as synthetic science. Thus, geopolitics of health is a pioneer subdiscipline of geopolitics that researches, analyses and synthetizes the acquired results in order to distinguish possible abuse of medical science and health system by corruptive individuals, interest groups, health authorities, pharmaceutical industries, legal regulations and official state and international organizations’ policies, which all, in some way, deal with the issue of human health. Using the method of analysis and synthesis, the method of deduction and the geopolitical method, we strive to lay the foundation for further research advances in the context of geopolitics as a synthetic science.

In the paper, the authors deal with the issue of identity and nations in the post-Yugoslav area, since from the 19th century until today there have been many disagreements and ambiguities on this issue, which should be clarified. The basic question concerns the origin and development of nations in this area, that is, the construction of synthetic identities and nations as agreed nations. Therefore, in the first part, the authors provide an overview of scientific knowledge concerning nations and identities and derive a theoretical model of synthetic nations, as an attempt to comprehensively respond to a complex phenomenon. In the second part of the paper, based on previous scientific knowledge, the authors analyze the process of the creation of the Bosniak nation and its development from the 19th to the end of the 20th century, when it was internationally recognized. Finally, aware of the facts about the process of the creation of the Bosniak nation, that is, the new Bosniakism of Alija Izetbegović, the authors derive security risks for the Republic of Srpska.
