Geopolitics, Strategy & World Order — Area 02
World order & geopolitical transformation
International order, multipolarity, great-power competition, regional orders, institutions and global governance.
Research in development
This area examines how the international system is changing and what kinds of geopolitical orders are emerging from that change.
