The Geopolitics domain reads international politics through geography, infrastructure and civilisation. Research covers great-power rivalry in the Indo-Pacific, the strategic weight of the Strait of Malacca and the Andaman Sea, the politics of ASEAN centrality, and the rise of the Global South as an autonomous actor in a fragmenting order.

Analysis in this domain moves deliberately from global to local, asking how shifts in Washington, Beijing or Moscow are felt in Aceh, Patani or the Natuna Sea. It connects to the School of Geopolitics and to AI Laboratory simulators that help students and analysts test assumptions about chokepoints, space power and maritime competition.
