7 theatres of power
under permanent surveillance.
FARO does not monitor current events. It monitors the forces that produce them.
Technologies of power.
Digital sovereignty, semiconductors, AI, space, quantum computing, satellite connectivity, orbital infrastructure.
Redefines hierarchies between states and private actors faster than any other force.
Where to invest, where to reduce exposure, where to cut dependencies.
Energy & transition.
Energy security, hydrocarbons, LNG, low-carbon transition, SMR, critical dependencies.
The primary lever of geopolitical pressure. The transition shifts dependencies — it does not eliminate them.
Energy exposure, supply chains, transition timeline.
Industry & value chains.
Relocation, production dependencies, logistical resilience, industrial competitiveness.
Value chains have become instruments of power. Their recomposition is rapid, asymmetric, irreversible.
Industrial positioning, sourcing decisions, exposure to logistical disruptions.
Critical infrastructure & cybersecurity.
Submarine cables, power grids, financial systems, cyber defence, physical and digital vulnerabilities.
Critical infrastructures are the new battlefields. Their disruption is both a strategy and a systemic risk.
Exposure to disruptions, resilience investments, security posture.
Systemic risks & geopolitics.
Power reconfigurations, great power tensions, rupture scenarios, strategic doctrine.
Systemic risks are not read in current events — they are detected in structures.
Geopolitical positioning, exposure to international order disruptions.
Geoeconomics & financial flows.
Sanctions, capital flows, reserve currency recomposition, financial dependencies.
Geoeconomics is the central instrument of competition between powers. Finance is a field of force, not merely a market.
Financial exposure, location decisions, reading of economic pressures.
Strategic talent & power anchors.
Skills mobility, strategic human capital, institutional attractiveness, elite circulation, transatlantic anchors.
Talent is an asset of power. Its concentration, flight or capture redefines the competitiveness of nations and organisations.
Human capital strategy, attractiveness, institutional alliances, Franco-Mexican and transatlantic anchors.
These 7 theatres structure every FARO publication.
