 From shifts in the balance of power between nations to challenges connected with maritime zones and trade wars, geopolitics today is an essential skill for managers so they can understand and master international political and economic relations.

Pascal Boniface, director of the IRIS (International and Strategic Relations Institute), and Michel-Edouard Leclerc, president of NEOMA Business School and member of the IRIS executive board, explain why taking courses in geopolitics is no longer a choice but a necessity.
