Geopolitics is more than the study of geography’s role in shaping politics—it’s a lens through which we can understand the ambitions, conflicts, and alliances that define our world. Why do certain nations dominate global discourse? How do geography and resources dictate power? And what lessons can we draw from the past to make sense of today’s shifting global landscape?
The Geopolitics Theories and Practices course invites you to explore these questions and more. Over five days, you’ll journey through the foundational ideas that have shaped geopolitics, from ancient strategies to modern theories. You’ll dissect how seas, airspace, and even outer space have become battlegrounds of influence and learn to apply cutting-edge frameworks to analyze today’s challenges, such as resource scarcity and climate-driven conflicts.
Whether you’re a policymaker, a strategist, or simply someone fascinated by the forces that drive global events, this course will sharpen your understanding of power, geography, and the dynamics that define our interconnected world. It’s not just about theory—it’s about equipping you to think critically and act decisively in an unpredictable world.
