Hello all! Welcome to the Pivot! The purpose of this podcast is to discuss in detail the geopolitical implications of the 21st century as we gravitate from a definite American unipolar international order to a nascent multi-faceted, multi-polar international system. This podcast looks to extensively address the question "how did we get to where we are now?" and the question, "where do we go from now?"
In order to do this, we must understand the powers of history, civilization development, technology, identity, and geography so that we can properly shed light on the true realities of our world. Through monologues, dialogues, interviews, and open-ended discussions, the Pivot seeks to provide a platform of intellectual engagement, assessments, awareness, and a learning environment! This podcast hopes to accomplish a new understanding of international relations, international security, and national security as we embrace and confront new challenges to the sustaining of our political institutions! This is intended to be a fun yet informative podcast hosted and organized by ambitious, knowledgeable, and determined individuals that wish to raise awareness and live lives of service to government, more specifically foreign policy, defense, and national security.

China's Maritime Militia and Fishing Vessels Disturbing the Peace in the South China Sea
The Geopolitical Pivot Podcast is back for good with a returning episode discussing China's maritime militia and fishing vessels in the South China Sea as tensions continue to increase between Beijing and Washington DC. The usage of these maritime militia serves to provide China with plausible deniability while carefully crafting its own strategic maritime advantage in the South China Sea. Seeking to make the 9 Dash Line a reality, Beijing will continue to use maritime militias and fishing vessels as the main maritime force to address territorial disputes. However, there are major institutional problems such as chain of command and financing that prohibits the PRC's maritime militias from becoming significant professional additions to the PRC's military-security apparatus. This will only increase tensions and the probabilities of instability.
It is good to be back! -
