Geopolitical Futures
@geopoliticalfuturesgpfAbout
Geopolitical Futures is a subscription-based publication founded by George Friedman, internationally recognized expert on geopolitics. GPF is dedicated to predicting the future course of the international system. The founder of Geopolitical Futures, Dr. Friedman, who also founded the geopolitical intelligence firm Stratfor, has built a career on successful geopolitical forecasts. Some of the events predicted in his books include a crisis in the EU, the economic decline of China, the re-emergence of Russia, a confrontation over Ukraine, a U.S.-Iranian entente and increasing tensions with Israel. These forecasts were made almost nine years ago and have already materialized. There are others that may yet come to fruition. The question “can anyone predict geopolitical trends?” has been answered: the track record shows it.
Video Description
Poland has come a long way in recent decades, from being under Soviet control with limited opportunities for growth, to being both a growing economic and military power after gaining its independence. Now it is about to be part of the G20 and hosts the 3rd largest military force in NATO. In this clip from our recent episode of Talking Geopolitics, GPF Chairman George Friedman joined host Christian Smith to discuss his forecast for Poland's evolution from his 2009 book, The Next 100 Years, and how geography plays a major role in shaping Poland's future.

There you'll also find George's new series on the 2020s and Its Historic Shift, including his updated forecast for Poland, Turkey and Japan.
