Preferred term

geopolitics  

Definition

  • Geopolitics concerns questions in relation to the strategic importance of geographic locations, their relationships with each other, and the changing pattern of such relationships over time. For example, the European colonial legacies and geopolitical incidents such as the two world wars, cold war, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks have contributed to the shaping of the existing global business environment.
