Where Geology Meets Geopolitics

The global scramble for critical minerals — lithium, cobalt, rare earths, and beyond — has moved to the centre of diplomatic agendas worldwide. Supply chains that were once invisible are now front-page news, shaping alliances, triggering sanctions, and rewriting the rules of statecraft.

Designed and delivered by world-leading practitioners and scholars, this course equips mid-career diplomats and policy professionals with the analytical frameworks and practical tools to engage with critical minerals issues in their day-to-day work — and to identify the minerals dimension in foreign policy questions that don't, on the surface, appear to be about minerals at all.
