Global Strategic Behavior

Overview

Global Strategic Behavior explains how states, power blocs, corporations, digital platforms, and transnational actors behave strategically to secure interests, influence, security, resources, and technological advantages within the global system.

  • geopolitical constraints

Strategic behavior is the operational logic of global power.
