RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Abstract
This article examines key geopolitical factors influencing global supply chains in the modern world. It analyzes trade wars, sanctions, and political tensions that disrupt logistics operations and compel companies to reconsider their production and distribution strategies. Special attention is given to risk mitigation mechanisms, including supplier and market diversification, the formation of strategic reserves, the implementation of new monitoring technologies, and the reconfiguration of supply chains through regionalization and nearshoring. The study consolidates recommendations to enhance the resilience and flexibility of logistics systems in an environment of increasing geopolitical uncertainty. The scholarly contribution of this work lies in the systematization of contemporary approaches to managing geopolitical risks in logistics and the development of an integrated model for a resilient supply chain.
