Washington and the World: The New Geopolitics of Great Power Competition

The global economy, long based upon a rules-based trade system, is undergoing profound and fundamentally transformative shifts, from uneven recoveries to new hot wars and potential cold wars, as well as challenging energy security debates. 

U.S.-China relations are more tense than ever over Taiwan, technology, trade, and human rights, as China seeks to dominate Asia, manage its commercial relations, and challenge U.S. global leadership, and Washington pursues closer ties with India, Japan, and Indo-Pacific powers for regional counterbalance.

Iranian-sponsored terror against Israel and now against global shipping in the Red Sea is destabilizing the Middle East and its global oil and gas supply network. Russia’s war against Ukraine is upending Europe’s security architecture and global energy and food supply chains, as the EU scrambles to escape hydrocarbon dependence on Moscow, NATO seeks to prevent alliance fracturing, and Germany and the United Kingdom plan for energy rationing and deindustrialization Food shortages, energy scarcity, cybersecurity, and climate policy dependent on rare earths processing increasingly impact C-suite decision-making.

Amid the most complex international security landscape since the end of the Cold War, geopolitical strategist John Sitilides delivers valuable insights and thoughtful understanding of geopolitical trends in the near-term and toward the horizon.

Using open-source intelligence, he explores the key geopolitical risks across the international trade, security, technology, and diplomacy landscapes that will dominate global and regional investment strategies and provide both serious challenges and long-term opportunities, to help corporate and investment leaders better understand, anticipate, and mitigate geopolitical risk in today’s disrupted economic and financial landscape.

Washington and the World: The New Geopolitics of Great Power Rivalry

The global economy, for decades based upon a rules-based trade system, is undergoing profound and fundamentally transformative shifts. China seeks to dominate and manage Asia’s commercial relations, project military power worldwide, and challenge U.S. global leadership. Russia is upending Europe’s security architecture and fracturing the European Union. Iran’s nuclear weapons breakout is destabilizing the Middle East and its global oil and gas supply network.

Energy scarcity, food shortages, cybersecurity, and climate policy are increasingly shaping international decision-making. Amid the most challenging international landscape since of the end of the Cold War thirty years ago, John Sitilides’ powerful keynote presentation delivers valuable insights, clear-eyed intelligence, and thoughtful understanding of current and future geopolitical and geo-economic trends in the near-term and over the horizon.

Against the backdrop of a visually dynamic slide deck, he simplifies complex foreign policy and international security trends and developments to concisely deliver the most valuable knowledge, information, and open-source intelligence, to help leadership audiences better understand, anticipate, and mitigate geopolitical risk in today’s disrupted industry, finance, and diplomacy landscape.

May be the most fascinating presentation I have ever seen at an event. Global geopolitics and the impact on trade, economies, and business. This is brilliant.

The thoughtful, comprehensive, understandable and practical view you brought to the complex problems and issues revolving around geopolitics truly enlightened and engaged the audience at P&I’s Global Future of Retirement conference. Setting the tone on the second day of the event kept people talking, and your presentation was referred to numerous times by other speakers throughout the day.
