Great Power Geopolitics was created with the goal of sharing insights related to contemporary geopolitics.
Great Power Geopolitics is founded on the belief that three crucial pillars are essential for any effective analysis of contemporary geopolitics:
Great Power Competition: The rivalry between the US and China must be considered, even when analyzing topics that are not directly related to their competition.
Internal Dynamics: The internal dynamics of countries are primarily shaped by their political systems and demographics.
External Dynamics: The external dynamics of countries are mainly influenced by Realism and Realpolitik.
Realism is a theoretical framework in international relations that emphasizes the competitive and conflictual side of international politics, viewing states as primarily driven by the desire for power and security. Realpolitik, a term often used interchangeably with Realism, refers to pragmatic and strategic approaches to foreign policy, where decisions are guided by practical considerations and national interests rather than ideological or ethical norms. Both concepts highlight the importance of power dynamics and the strategic maneuvering of states in shaping global affairs.
