About GEOFOR Analytics
GEOFOR Analytics is a center for applied research and international analysis, specializing in international politics, economic and industry developments, country risks, and non-market risks.
Its work focuses on questions where a single source or ready-made dataset is insufficient: information may be incomplete, accounts may diverge, and political and economic factors may shape the same process at once. In such cases, the aim is to reconstruct the factual picture, identify causal relationships, and assess the factors that could change the trajectory of events.
Research Track Record
Research and monitoring work spans international politics and foreign policy, country and regional developments, politico-military security, political risk, the information environment, and selected industry issues. Geographic coverage includes Europe, the post-Soviet space, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

How the Analysis Works
Sources, documents, statistics.
Conflicting evidence, data quality, context.
Causal relationships, risks, key actors.
Assessments, scenarios, indicators.
Principles of Analysis
Key conclusions remain linked to the sources, underlying data, and assumptions on which they are based.
A situation is assessed through the interests, capabilities, and constraints of its principal actors. Competing interpretations are tested against the available evidence.
Where a definitive conclusion would be premature, alternative scenarios are retained together with indicators that can signal a change in the situation.
Research Output
The final assessment connects the factual picture with its underlying drivers, material risks, and plausible scenarios. Key conclusions rest on a traceable evidence base, while scenario assessments include conditions and indicators that allow them to be revisited as circumstances change.
Expertise and Team
Core expertise covers international relations, political analysis, regional developments, and economics. Projects requiring specialized industry, technical, or regional knowledge draw on relevant subject-matter experts.
