Geopolitics is a method of studying foreign policy in order to understand, explain and predict international political behaviour.&nbsp;Geographical characteristics are closely related to a country&#8217;s decision-making process in determining its foreign policy principles, they can influence a country&#8217;s attitude towards other countries and are a strategic resource to enhance its geopolitical value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Myanmar occupies an important geopolitical position when viewed from strategic, political and economic dimensions. At present, Myanmar&#8217;s location is important not only for China but also for India; it has wider geopolitical implications for the whole region&nbsp;and beyond. In terms of geography, Myanmar occupies the tri-junction where China and India meet. Moreover, Myanmar&#8217;s location is crucial for China&#8217;s &#8220;Go West&#8221; and &#8220;Two Ocean Strategy&#8221; and India&#8217;s &#8220;Look East Policy&#8221;: it is a land bridge for them. In addition to its geographical location, Myanmar&#8217;s abundant natural resources, especially in the area of energy sources, enhance its geopolitical importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this seminar, students will learn about the main theories of geopolitics in international relations and apply their theoretical knowledge to the context of Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-79414423 gb-tabs__item\" id=\"gb-tab-item-79414423\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-aaccadd3 gb-headline-text\">Course Outline<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">You can see and download the course syllabus below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-3120ace5\">\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/myanmar-in-the-world-syllabus-S25.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:813px\" aria-label=\"myanmar-in-the-world-syllabus-S25 g\u00f6m\u00fcs\u00fc.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-b17dba66-c681-44d3-a09c-b48e604bcc56\" href=\"https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/myanmar-in-the-world-syllabus-S25.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">myanmar-in-the-world-syllabus-S25<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-bc3fa32e\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-bc3fa32e\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-233f353f\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-e4125b44 gb-headline-text\">Course Details<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b921c8c1\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-70b4f9b1\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-203abde0\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-203abde0\">\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Duration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-7f61003f\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7f61003f\">\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">10.05.25 &#8211;
