Welcome to Geopolitical Futures
We write for the learned public: for those of you who want to understand the world you live in and are citizens of every country, for the public engaged in all walks of life. We believe that democracy can survive only if there is a segment of society that is not caught up in the passions of the moment, but is eager to look at the world as it is. I and my team may have our personal beliefs, but in our work we strive to be objective and indifferent to the opinions swirling around the world. We hope you’ll join us in our quest.

From George Friedman’s Best Selling book:
The Next 100 Years
(published 2009)
For the next generation until roughly 2020, Russia’s primary concern will be reconstructing the Russian state and reasserting Russian power in the region… The Russians must dominate Belarus and Ukraine for their basic national security… If they were to fall into an enemy’s hands –for example, join NATO- Russia would be in mortal danger.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Unbiased, Objective Reports
We give you a radically non-ideological perspective, based on a different view of the world. Our selection of what’s important derives from geopolitical trends, not from the media or online chatter.
Intelligence Analysis
We use intelligence analysis to discover the small things that will define the future. Geopolitics defines the broad thrusts; intelligence analysis tracks its movements.
Successful Forecasting
Our forecasting model is based on the assumption that impersonal forces – things like geography, politics, economics, military capability and demography – govern world leaders, not the other way around. It’s an important distinction you don’t see anywhere else.

Understanding Our Geopolitical Model
| 1 |
Information CollectionExtensive open-source information collection keeps us abreast of world events no matter how obscure. It draws from English and foreign language sources and includes traditional media as well as government, institutional and other primary source report from all over the world. |
| 2 |
Strategic IntelligenceWe make sense of the world by overlaying collected information with our model. Our model tells us how to expect a country to behave based on what it must have in order to remain secure, the limits imposed on it and the means at its disposal to take action. |
| 3 |
Net AssessmentThe net assessment is the current snapshot of a country’s position and power at a particular moment in time. It reflects the realities facing a country in terms of what cannot be done and what must be done in the present, thereby enabling us to predict its future behavior. |
