Abstract

We aim at presenting a dynamic interpretation and use of SWOT (evolutionary and correlative) as a strategic evaluation tool in geoeconomics, using the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) as an illustrative example. We identify the arising challenges and hazards by assessing the relative strengths and weaknesses of the RCEP, its participating countries, and the worldwide system. Our findings suggest that applying a correlative SWOT methodology in geoeconomics aids in gaining a well-rounded comprehension of the current stage of the new globalization. It appears that dynamic geoeconomics investigates contrasting opinions and objectives dialectically. We discover that, in comparison to other multilateral institutions, the RCEP’s objectives and aspirations lack substantial socioeconomic depth. This issue presents strategic dangers to the trade bloc’s endurance and socioeconomic viability.
