New Geopolitics Research

In the increasingly complex landscape of global relations, the study of geopolitics has acquired renewed urgency. Rapid changes in political alliances, economic interdependence, environmental crises, and technological innovation are reshaping how power, territory, identity, and resources intersect. It is within this dynamic and contested arena that the journal of New Geopolitics Research (NGR), published by Lorestan University, seeks to establish itself as a forum for rigorous, critical, and interdisciplinary scholarship. The journal of New Geopolitics Research (NGR) aims to bridge theoretical inquiry and empirical investigation, emphasizing contributions that both advance the academic field of geopolitics and address pressing regional and international challenges. Given Lorestan University’s geographical and cultural positioning within Iran, an area historically situated at the crossroads of geopolitical, cultural, and environmental forces, the journal is especially well placed to engage with themes of borderland dynamics, regional security, geopolitics of resources, and the interrelation of state, society, and environment.
    The journal invites scholarship from disciplines such as geography, political science, international relations, environmental studies, history, economics, and cultural studies, encouraging methodological pluralism, qualitative, quantitative, spatial, critical, comparative, and thematic diversity. Particular emphasis is placed on research that illuminates understudied regions, offers new paradigms of geopolitical analysis, or re‐examines dominant narratives in light of shifting global configurations. By fostering rigorous peer review, open discourse, and a commitment to both local insight and global relevance, New Geopolitics Research seeks to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of how geopolitical phenomena shape, and are shaped by, power, place, and human agency. It aspires to serve scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in both the immediate stakes of geopolitical change and the deeper structures through which they are mediated.
