A Global Geopolitical Index
Around four months ago, I began working on a project to create a geopolitical report for every country in the world. The goal was to better understand each country’s political and foreign policy considerations during a time of increasing geopolitical competition and misunderstanding.
I thought what better place to start than Africa—home to the greatest number of countries and perhaps America’s most inadvertent and, at times conscious, “grey area” in terms of political awareness.
What could I learn about the continent with six out of ten of the fastest growing economies and only increasing geopolitical importance in a time when key heads of America’s Africa policy remain vacant or have frequent turnover?
