Why geopolitics matters

Geopolitics is the study of how geography, resources, institutions, and power interact across regions and eras.

From events to structure

Our geopolitical coverage looks past isolated incidents to the structural forces underneath them: maritime competition, supply chain exposure, energy security, technological rivalry, and the institutional endurance of states.
