About GEOPOLITICS

Clubhouse’s Global Talk Show for the understanding & debate of 21st Century Geopolitics & International Relations. 👉🏽 The show features speakers & guest experts participating in conversations related to current events and global crises. 👉🏻 We also host pop-up rooms on specific topics of interest ranging from professional opportunities in the area to understanding media talking points. 👉🏻 We aim to create understanding across the world without looking at events from one nation’s particular perspective. 👉🏽 We do not provide a platform for the agenda of political parties. 👉🏿 The club is governed by the rule of International Law & the recognition of legitimate governments and sovereign states (as set out by the United Nations Charter & the resolutions of the UN Security Council) regardless of their origins, governance or human rights record. ———————————————— 🌍 Geopolitics is a method of studying international relations and foreign policy to understand, explain and predict international behaviour through geographical variables. 🌎 The focus is on political power linked to geographic space. 🌏 In particular, territorial waters and land territory in correlation with diplomatic history. Land Power > Sea Power > Air Power > The Conquest of Space > Cyber Power. ———————————————— 👉🏻 Key concepts of International Relations Theory are: ➡️ Realism ➡️ Liberalism ➡️ Constructivism ➡️ Marxism ———————————————— 📚Some key references: 🖋 Thucydides 🖋 Henry Kissinger 🖋 John Mearsheimer 🖋 Graham Alison 🖋 Robert D.
