In recent years, global geopolitical dynamics have experienced significant changes, triggered by various tensions from within and outside the country. In particular, tensions between major countries such as the United States, China and Russia have created an atmosphere prone to conflict and competition. In this context, China’s rise as an economic and military power, coupled with its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) expansion strategy, is of primary concern. Many countries in Asia and Africa appear to be caught in this rivalry, balancing their relations between the two great powers. In the European region, tensions have increased along with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has shaken regional stability. NATO responded by strengthening its military presence in Eastern Member states, while Russia continued to increase its military capacity. This creates new demarcation lines in international relations, where previously neutral countries now tend to shift to the stronger side, creating new geopolitical blocs. In the Middle East, the dynamics are no less complex. The feud between Iran and Saudi Arabia, both of which represent different sects of Islam, has exacerbated tensions in the region. Additionally, the United States’ diminishing role in Middle Eastern affairs, especially following the withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan, provides an opportunity for regional powers such as Türkiye and Qatar to expand their influence. This tension is often reflected in the armed conflicts in Yemen and Syria, where external powers play a major role in directing the course of the conflict. In Southeast Asia, China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea face reactions from neighboring countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines, as well as the involvement of the United States military in the form of joint exercises. These tensions are not just about resources, but also about the claims of power and presence dominated by large powers. The unified international response, including a statement from ASEAN, shows that small countries are trying to protect their sovereignty amid big competition. On an economic level, the trade war between the US and China also has a big impact on this dynamic. The introduction of high tariffs, as well as the spread of disrupted global supply chains, have changed the way international businesses operate. The high level of connectivity between countries means that these tensions have a direct impact on the global economy, creating widespread uncertainty. Companies are now planning to diversify production locations to reduce risks. From a socio-political perspective, nationalism and populism movements are increasingly dominating political narratives in various countries. Leaders with a nationalist agenda often take confrontational positions towards other countries, exacerbating tensions and creating a climate of distrust. In many cases, social media plays an important role in spreading propaganda and information that makes the situation worse. With the situation continuing to develop, the world’s geopolitical map is becoming increasingly dynamic. This tension is not just a bilateral problem but creates a broad and deep impact. Countries around the world must take a more strategic approach to managing and reducing tensions, seeking to create a more stable world order amidst the existing uncertainty.
