MC GEOPOLICY
guide to an upside-down world
We watch and analyze the world in the right way by offering you the reality and not its representations
Mission
The world is increasingly complex, volatile and contradictory; rules, parameters and benchmarks established in recent decades are losing value or being challenged.
There are growing signs of a possible new international order or the potential concurrence of different conceptions of such an order, with new key players conditioning the world stage: uncertainty and anxiety reign supreme.
We therefore aspire to assist our clients to make the right choices in politics, business and investment, and avoid the wrong ones.
Services
We offer strategic consulting services for institutions, entities and businesses by presenting them with the reality of the facts. In doing so, we believe that it is also necessary to listen to those who think outside the box. Whereas necessary, we do not hesitate to offer truths that, however inconvenient, will certainly prove useful.
