Geopolitics Speakers

Geopolitics involves thinking and acting geographically and is the framework we use to understand the complex world around us. Geopolitics explains how countries, businesses and governments reach their political goals and control geographic features of the world.

Geopolitics also looks at a particular use of power: how countries compete to control these entities within the international community. We represent some of best geopolitical analysts and practitioners from corporate, military, academic and government backgrounds who talk about geopolitics and the impact on business.
