The War Council Series is made possible by the generous contributions of the Class of 1992 to the Modern War Institute (MWI) at West Point. On 9 October, 2024, MWI hosted a panel discussion on the topic of classical geopolitics and the war in Ukraine. This panel, featuring experts from the New Lines Institute for Strategy and Policy, analyzed the theory of geopolitics and considered how it is affected by geography and culture through the lens of modern competition between great powers. The panel consisted of Mr. Eugene Chausovsky, Ms. Tammy Palacios and Mr. Andrew Loftesnes from the New Lines Institute and was moderated by MWI’s managing editor, Dr. Charlie Faint.
