21st Century Geopolitics and Peru in the New World Order

Abstract

This article examines the contemporary meaning of geopolitics in the context of world reordering and Peru's position in the new power scenarios. Through an interpretative and strategic qualitative methodology, it analyzes specialized sources and comparative regional doctrines, with the aim of understanding the factors that influence the articulation of national power. The purpose is to contribute to the formulation of a national strategy that will allow Peru to face the challenges of the international environment with autonomy and long-term vision. It highlights the urgency of a modern geopolitical doctrine that integrates security, defense, development, education, productive infrastructure and strategic leadership. It also addresses transnational threats, regional dynamics in Latin America and the influence of global powers on the international system. The research proposes to reposition Peru as a geostrategic node in South America, combining logistical development, institutional strengthening, professionalization of the Armed Forces and an educational policy aligned with national interests. This analysis offers guidelines to build a prospective national geopolitical vision, multisectoral and coherent with the permanent interests of the State in a complex and competitive global environment.
