In an era of technological change, shifting alliances, and increased competition for resources, rising powers reshape the global geopolitical landscape. Nations with economic influence, military capabilities, and foreign policies challenge established hierarchies and reexamine international norms. These emerging factors redefine regional dynamics while influencing global governance, trade, and security frameworks. As the international system becomes multipolar, understanding the motivations and strategies of rising powers is essential to grasp the complexities of today's geopolitical climate. Rising Powers in an Evolving Geopolitical Climate explores how emerging nations change global power structures through their economic growth, military modernization, and strategic diplomatic engagements. It examines how these shifts influence international stability, alliances, and the future balance of power in a complex geopolitical environment. This book covers topics such as global energy, sociology, and trade wars, and is a useful resource for business owners, government officials, academicians, researchers, and political scientists.
