The world is getting increasingly complex, competitive, and convoluted. In this hyper-connected yet fragmented world, there are growing interconnections between geopolitics and economics. One can no longer think of geopolitics and economics as two separate spheres of activity. They are closely linked with each other and policymakers across the world are turning to geoeconomic tools and geopolitical strategies while formulating their strategic policies. We can see these processes playing out across a range of developments, for example: Russia’s War in Ukraine and the Western sanctions on Moscow, US-China trade and technological rivalry, India’s quest for new connectivity and trade corridors etc.
In this context, there is a need to understand and analyze this fast-evolving world and evolve appropriate policy responses. The Geosquare is driven by this imperative.
