John Sitilides Speaking Topics

  • Washington and the World: The New Geopolitics of Great Power Competition

    The global economy, long based upon a rules-based trade system, is undergoing profound and fundamentally transformative shifts. Russia’s war against Ukraine is upending Europe’s security architecture, as the EU scrambles to escape its hydrocarbon dependence on Moscow, NATO seeks to prevent alliance fracturing, and Germany and the United Kingdom plan for energy rationing and possible recession. U.S.-China relations are more tense than ever over Taiwan, trade, technology, and human rights, as China seeks to dominate Asia, manage its commercial relations, and challenge U.S. global leadership, while Washington seeks closer ties with India, Japan, and Indo-Pacific powers for regional counterbalance. Beijing is emerging from a zero-COVID policy that unsettled global supply chains and thwarted economic growth. Iran’s potential nuclear weapons breakout is destabilizing the Middle East and its global oil and gas supply network. The global impact of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan is re-shaping counter-terrorism operations and may modify rare earths processing for renewable energy and other advanced technology sectors. Food shortages, energy scarcity, cybersecurity, and climate policy are increasingly shaping international decision-making.

  • Washington and the World: The New Geopolitics of Great Power Rivalry

  • Geopolitics, Geo-Economics, and Great Power Threats to Global Supply Chains

  • The Big Picture: A Geopolitical and Geo-Economic Outlook

  • China, Russia, and America: Geopolitics & Geo-Economics in the Decade Ahead

  • The Global Economy

    The global economy, for decades based upon a rules-based trade system, is undergoing profound and fundamentally transformative shifts. China seeks to dominate Asia, manage its commercial relations, and challenge U.S. global leadership. Russia is upending Europe’s security architecture and fracturing the European Union. Iran’s nuclear weapons breakout is destabilizing the Middle East and its global oil and gas supply network. Energy scarcity, food shortages, cybersecurity, and climate policy are increasingly shaping international decision-making. Amid the most challenging international landscape since of the end of the Cold War thirty years ago, John Sitilides’ powerful keynote presentation delivers valuable insights, clear-eyed intelligence, and thoughtful understanding of current and future geopolitical and geo-economic trends in the near-term and over the horizon. Against the backdrop of a visually dynamic slide deck, he simplifies complex foreign policy and international security trends and developments to concisely deliver the most valuable knowledge, information, and open-source intelligence, to help leadership audiences better understand, anticipate, and mitigate geopolitical risk in today’s disrupted industry, finance, and diplomacy landscape.
