NEW YORK, July 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RANE (Risk Assistance Network + Exchange) has established The Stratfor Center for Applied Geopolitics as a global center of excellence for geopolitical intelligence and analysis.

Geopolitical risk is a critical driver of risk and security for corporations and it shapes 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.

“The Stratfor Center for Applied Geopolitics will identify, develop, and strengthen best practices in geopolitical analysis and offer tools, methods, and training to organizations and individuals as they integrate geopolitical factors into their business practices,” says RANE CEO Steve Roycroft.

Building on over a quarter-century of Stratfor’s application of geopolitical intelligence to the corporate, national security, and educational sectors, and led by Rodger Baker, one of the world's leading geopolitical thought leaders, the Center focuses on three major initiatives:
