The Stratfor Center for Applied Geopolitics is a global center of excellence for geopolitical intelligence and analysis.
Geopolitical risk has emerged as a critical driver of risk and security for corporations and is shaping the global business environment. The practice of applied geopolitics provides a multidisciplinary framework for putting these global events in context, forecasting strategic trends, and making them relevant and actionable for organizations.
Building on over a quarter century of Stratfor’s application of geopolitical intelligence to the corporate, national security, and educational sectors, the Center seeks to identify, develop, and strengthen best practices in geopolitical analysis and provide tools, methods, and training to organizations and individuals as they integrate geopolitical risk and opportunity into their business practices.

The Impact of De-Dollarization on the Global Economy
A number of key countries — including the so-called BRICS countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — are looking to set up trade channels using currencies other than the U.S. dollar. While this trend is unlikely to challenge the dollar’s preeminence for now, it will over time have important geopolitical and economic implications, including for businesses. Watch our panelists discuss the drivers of this trend and the potential for, and impacts of, the dollar losing its leading status in global trade.
