The geopolitical sphere is not only affected by the work of international associations such as the EU, but also by private corporations and nongovernmental organizations. Indeed, global affairs considerations are now built into the strategic and operational planning of companies such as lobbying agencies, and intergovernmental groups such as NATO or the OSCE, meaning the analytical and strategic expertise of sector professionals is in high demand in every sector.
