Geopolitics; Theory of warfare & military science; Artificial intelligence

This book puts forward a new conceptual framework for emerging geopolitics through the lens of technology, energy, and warfare. Drawing on rich case studies from across the globe, it illuminates how power dynamics are being fundamentally reshaped across nations, governments, international organizations, and individuals.

It highlights three interrelated aspects of the evolving geopolitics: the close connections between technology and geopolitics, and their mutual influence; the interaction between energy and geopolitics, and the problem of ensuring global security; and warfare affecting global politics. The volume discusses cutting-edge trends and developments in artificial intelligence, the expanding domain of cyberwarfare as well as hybrid warfare, ongoing energy transitions, emerging renewable energy hubs, and structural shifts in global energy markets. Through rigorous analysis, the authors track the economic, social, and political transformations triggered by these interconnected developments across the international landscape.

This book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of international relations, security and intelligence studies, information technology, and artificial intelligence. It will also be of special interest to professionals such as policymakers, security and intelligence practitioners, and professionals working with embassies.
