JOURNAL OF THE SPANISH INSTITUTE FOR STRATEGIC STUDIES http://revista.ieee.es/index.php/ieee Miguel Ángel Ballesteros Martín Doctor by the Pontifical University of Salamanca. Brigadier Director of the Spanish Institute for Strategic Studies. E-mail: mballesteros31@yahoo.es METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS OF GEOPOLITICAL REGIONS (MARG) Abstract The end of the Cold War pushed to a second plane the conventional deterrence strategies among countries, behind the strategies to address highly changing multifaceted risks and threats which often have non-state actors as protagonists, capable of destabilizing geopolitical regions, which force the international community to intervene to avoid contagion. Thus, the author sets forth the need to develop a method to analyze geopolitical regions, starting from the hypothesis that none of the existing methods is valid for this type of analysis. Once the hypothesis is established, the author creates a method of analysis of geopolitical regions, and validates it by means of an empirical investigation. KeyWords Geopolitical analysis, geopolitical region, indicators, comparison of risks.
