5 Updates About Current Affairs & Geopolitical Topics On Medium
The Russia-Ukraine conflict and United States-European Union sanctions regimes are having the biggest impact on world affairs and geopolitical trends right now, so I couldn’t have put this list together without firstly mentioning Anton Krutikov who has been informing me and the broader viewer base on every significant detail, event and outcome.
I’ve been following Max Rottersman ever since I joined Medium. I remember a discussion him and I had about the sanctions regime against Russia, which began over a year ago to date, following the country’s invasion of Ukraine. The discussion, at that time, was revolving around aircraft lessors to Russia and how a multi-billion dollar industry was hanging in the balance of an international conflict. Now, what’s relevant to this outcome could be the fallout of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Credit Suisse.
The work of Geopolitics Explained comes with a diverse and wide-ranging coverage of current affairs and geopolitical topics. I suggest following them for everything related to geopolitics. This recent content piece is a review about some other sources of information, looking at the concept of “information minimalism” which is not often discussed in the realm of current affairs, though for academics it is definitely a critical geopolitical topic.
An excellent writer and researcher, Grant Piper puts current affairs in the perspective of a historical context in International Relations (IR). He probably does it better than anyone else, in my opinion, because the content always takes a deep look at the geographical circumstances affecting IR, with no exceptions. Since the topic of geopolitics has not only become a media sensation but also a key part of the academic discipline in IR, this writer is one of the best writer to follow on Medium for geopolitics and world affairs.
Of Georgetown University in Washington DC, the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy has a publication on Medium called The Diplomatic Pouch. In one of the latest articles, the topic of Diplomacy in Latin America is put forward with two case studies about Columbia and Venezuela. I have also been writing about these two countries under the backdrop of oil and gas industry trends. In my view, Latin America is taking a back seat to the Middle East right now, but it’s the next area everyone will start paying closer attention to after the Iran-Saudi Arabia deal brokered by China. Read more about the geopolitical aspects of oil, gas and coal investments in Middle East and Latin America with this story about The Long-Game of Oil and Coal Production.
