It looks into the ways in which power is exercised alliances are built conflicts develop and the global balance of power is either upheld or threatened. Understanding state motivations the impact of borders and territories and the dynamics of regional and global security are all made possible by geopolitical analysis. We investigate the factors that are reshaping the geopolitical landscape in the twenty-first century ranging from the emergence of new powers to the effects of technological development and changes in the dynamics of the global economy.
