The study of how factors such as geography, economics, military capability and non-State actors affects the foreign policy of states.

All articles will require a short submission statement of 3-5 sentences.

Use the article title as the submission title. Do not editorialize the title or add your own commentary to the article title.

In this community we encourage long, in-depth submissions. Submissions should not be news articles that merely provide quick updates on current events; instead they should include background information and an explanation as to why the events they describe are occurring.

Submissions should not be about an individual country's domestic policies. Instead, they should be about relationships between different countries and/or relevant international organizations. Things like breakaway politics are permitted in this subreddit, as they are relevant to and could affect the geopolitical system.

Submissions are strongly encouraged to come from reputable sources. When posting from a lesser known source, please check whether the authors have some sort of qualification demonstrating they are knowledgeable of the subjects they discuss.

Sources that include (or solely contain) maps, statistics, or other multimedia (videos, interviews, primary sources, etc.) are permitted and even encouraged in this subreddit.

We encourage discussion and welcome anyone to pose hypotheses and ask questions. We allow self-posts.

We encourage comments to be cited.

Western rhetoric completely collapses when one simply observes their actions.

If you have a really serious threat facing you, it goes a long way towards forcing people to work together, because they think their security is at risk. In other words, if you're really dealing with the equivalent of Nazi Germany in Russia and they've got the equivalent of the Wehrmacht and Vladimir Putin is Adolf Hitler; that will go quite a long way towards dealing with the collective action problems. But as the three of us know, Russia is not Nazi Germany. It does not have the Wehrmacht at its disposal. It's not a threat to overrun all of Ukraine, much less all of Europe, and a lot of people realize this.
