Geopolitics is the study of the effects of geography (human and physical) on international politics and international relations. It examines how geographical factors such as location, resource distribution, and demographic trends influence political power dynamics, state behavior, and strategic decision-making on a global scale. Geopolitics often involves analyzing the interactions between nations, the role of geographic territories in conflict and cooperation, and the impact of physical geography on state sovereignty and security.
