Trade and Power: The Strategic Port of Rotterdam in a Changing World - The Geopolitical Puzzle (podcast)

For centuries, the Port of #Rotterdam was viewed primarily through the lens of trade; it remains perhaps the most important Port in the world and holds crucial geopolitical significance. In this new episode of The Geopolitical Puzzle, my guest is Frans-Paul van der Putten, a renowned geopolitical analyst, founder of China Geopolitics, and a Senior Research Associate at The Clingendael Institute. Frans-Paul shares his point of view about:
- The evolution from a small fishing village to the most important global Port.
- Adapting to crises like the war in Ukraine, the Red Sea, and the Strait of Hormuz.
- China's role: the risks and benefits of its participation in the Port.
