International Relations

Are geopolitical trends still important in today’s rapidly evolving international environment? Will geopolitics still be relevant tomorrow or will certain “megatrends” make them obsolete? Select a scenario from the National Intelligence Council’s publication, Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds, and briefly describe elements of geopolitical thought described in this scenario. Based on your evaluation of the scenario, make an argument in support for or against the relevance of geopolitical theory. Make sure to include specific examples from the videos for Chapter 4 from the Multimedia Library.
