About

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.
