Geopolitics, in straightforward terms, refers to the examination of how a nation’s geography (including its location, size, climate, and resources) impacts its political landscape, power dynamics, and interactions with other countries.
It involves understanding how the physical characteristics of the Earth shape international strategies, such as the way an island nation’s geographical features influence its defense mechanisms, or the reasons a nation rich in oil emerges as a significant global actor, resulting in a multifaceted “game” of power and interests on the global stage.
