Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive theoretical introduction to Geopolitical Instrumentalization Theory (GIT), a framework developed through a series of four research papers published between August 2025 and February 2026. GIT addresses a structural gap in mainstream international relations theory: the capacity of hegemonic powers to exploit the dynamics of ostensibly adversarial projects in ways that systematically serve their strategic objectives-without requiring direct coordination or conspiracy.
