  • Applied Geopolitics: Reviving Geopolitics

    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.

    RANE's annual 2023 geopolitical forecast publishes Jan 3, 2023. RANE forecasts deliver both strategic and tactical risk intelligence to global businesses.

  • Essential Geopolitics: Could Kosovo-Serbia Tensions Bring a New War to Europe?

    In this episode of the Essential Geopolitics podcast from RANE we look at rising tensions between Kosovo and Serbia. 

    In December 2022, tensions flared in north Kosovo as hundreds of ethnic Serbs erected roadblocks using heavy machinery at two border crossings with Serbia - the latest battle in a centuries-old geopolitical tug-of-war. Recently, there’s talk that those tensions could spark another war. Matteo Ilardo, RANE’s Europe analyst, clarifies whether the risk is real, and discusses how current tensions play into a larger geopolitical framework.

    Matteo Ilardo's latest analysis of unrest in North Kosovo can be found in RANE Worldview, our platform for strategy and operational risk professionals.
