About us
If you are interested in geopolitics, you’ve come to the right place! In The Geopolitical Forum, we learn and share knowledge, views and perspectives on foreign countries, various regions of the world, global affairs and international relations. By looking out to the world, perhaps we can also put US domestic politics in a proper context.
When you come and sit with us, the world is yours to explore. Enjoy!
Starting in January 2025, all events feature speakers for keynote. We also have held two formal debates! And it wasn't even 2026--we already implemented another upgrade, plus a podcast in the works.
Further exciting growth is in store for the future. We hope you can be part of:
"A marketplace of ideas on global affairs independent of any outside entity or individual, The Geopolitical Forum aims to influence policy and change the world in the most democratic way."

“New World Alliances” with University of Chicago Institute of Politics
University of Chicago, 1414 E 59th St, Chicago, IL, USThe end of American unipolarity—and an incipient return to its expansionist roots—has led to new alliances and economic partnerships across the globe. Powerful adversaries like China and Russia are forming their own blocs and pursuing acquisitive agendas; Canada and others are seeking new markets once dominated by the United States for its goods; all while the Trump administration pursues a far more sinewy role in the Middle East and Latin America. Is this a new era of reduced great-power tensions, or the dawn of a new one? Moderated by Asma Khalid, host of the BBC podcast The Global Story. Featuring former Spokesperson for the United States Department of State and former Ambassador to Liberia Mark Toner; Emma Ashford, Senior Fellow with the Reimagining U.S. Grand Strategy program at the Stimson Center; and Theodore Wold, Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy during the Trump Administration. Co-sponsored by International House. If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact iopevents@uchicago.edu. Monday, February 9, 2025 5:30 p.m. CT International House
