What are the main geopolitical dynamics and strategic interests shaping international relations in key regions such as Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa?
Geopolitical dynamics in key regions are influenced by factors such as power rivalries, territorial disputes, resource competition, economic integration, military alliances, and cultural differences. Asia-Pacific geopolitics revolve around the rise of China, regional security tensions, maritime disputes, and economic integration through initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Europe faces challenges such as Brexit, Russian assertiveness, migration flows, and NATO’s role in collective defense. The Middle East grapples with conflicts, sectarian tensions, energy geopolitics, and geopolitical rivalries involving Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Africa confronts issues such as governance, development, security, and external interventions by global powers seeking access to resources and markets.
