Business and Geoeconomics: Navigating the Fragmented Global Market
In 2026, the boundaries between corporate strategy and national security have blurred. The Business section of Global Politics examines the “new normal” of geoeconomic confrontation, where trade policy is a primary tool of statecraft. We provide business leaders and investors with the analytical framework needed to understand how political volatility influences market outcomes and industrial resilience.
