The field of geopolitics is having a bit of a revival. Geopolitical risk is a key challenge for internationally engaged businesses and organizations. The re-emergence of a multipolar system is driving strategists to revisit concepts of geopolitical analysis. And even academia is rehabilitating geopolitics as a viable and important field of study, particularly in Europe, but more recently in the United States. In this episode of the Applied Geopolitics podcast from RANE, host Rodger Baker talks with David Criekemans, an Associate Professor of International Relations and Geopolitics at the University of Antwerp and the Editor for the new Brill series on Geopolitics and International Relations about the trends in geopolitics as a field.
