Applied Geopolitics: Bridging Tactical and Strategic Intelligence

Applied Geopolitics is the podcast series from the Stratfor Center for Applied Geopolitics at RANE. Its host is Rodger Baker, the center's executive director, a veteran geopolitical strategist whose expertise includes the Korean Peninsula, Southeast Asia, and the Arctic.

In this episode, Baker's guest is Fred Burton, the Executive Director, Ontic Center for Protective Intelligence; former special agent and New York Times best-selling author, as well as one of the world's foremost authorities on security and terrorism. As businesses and organizations increasingly recognize the impact of geopolitical events on their international and even national operations, their internal information and intelligence cycles are often much shorter and more tactical. It is vital for those managing risk to balance between the strategic context and the tactical application.
