Geopolitics

What We’re Tracking #

A broad range of geopolitical, economic, demographic, and military analysis and forecasting — of the kind espoused by Peter Zeihan and Sarah Paine (tracked separately as Creators), but deliberately wider. The goal is a range of opinion on how the world is actually going, not confirmation of any single framework. This topic is a known filter-bubble risk, so it actively seeks out mainstream, skeptical, and contrarian counter-views alongside structural-collapse framings. Covers deglobalization, demographic decline, great-power conflict risk, trade wars, sovereign debt and currency shifts, and resource security.
