Geopolitics refers to how geography, economics, and political power shape the relationships and strategies between countries. In the context of cybersecurity, geopolitics plays a crucial role as nations compete for technological advantage, influence global internet policies, and sometimes engage in cyber operations against each other. Understanding geopolitics helps explain why certain countries may restrict technology exports, impose sanctions, or conduct cyber espionage. It is a key factor in international security, trade, and the development of technology standards.
