Geoeconomics
Geoeconomics refers to the use of economic policy instruments - such as trade sanctions, investment flows, currency regimes, and technological access - as tools of statecraft, and entails the study of global economic systems in relation to political authority, security imperatives, and strategic competition among nations.
