Geopolitical Tensions and Their Impact on Global Economic Security: A Strategic Analysis

Abstract

The contemporary global economic system is increasingly affected by the complexities of geopolitical tensions, which often lead to destabilization and unpredictability in international trade, investment flows, and market confidence. This research paper explores the intersection of geopolitical risks and economic security, focusing on how diplomatic disputes, military conflicts, and shifting power dynamics influence global economic stability. Through a strategic analysis, the paper investigates case studies, such as the U.S.-China trade war, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and regional conflicts in the Middle East, to highlight the far-reaching consequences on global supply chains, energy markets, and international financial systems. The paper concludes with policy recommendations to mitigate the adverse effects of geopolitical tensions on global economic security.
