Peter Zeihan
Energy & Geopolitical Strategist, Author of "The Absent Superpower" & "The Accidental Superpower"
Peter Zeihan is a geopolitical strategist who has immersed himself in the world of international affairs throughout his career. He launched his own firm, Zeihan on Geopolitics, in 2012 in order to specialize in customized executive briefings for his clients. Prior to going independent, Zeihan worked for twelve years with the geopolitical analysis firm Stratfor.
Zeihan is a critically acclaimed author whose first three books — "The Accidental Superpower," "The Absent Superpower," and "Disunited Nations" — have been recommended by Mitt Romney, Fareed Zakaria, and Ian Bremmer. Zeihan’s fourth book, "The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization," was published in June 2022.
Zeihan is also a highly sought after public speaker. With a keen eye toward what will drive tomorrow’s headlines, his irreverent approach transforms topics that are normally dense and heavy into accessible, relevant takeaways for audiences of all types.

Speech Topics
The Obama Doctrine
No president since Harry Truman has ruled at a time of greater change in the international system. The very foundation of Europe is cracking apart, the Iranian gambit for regional domination is faltering, the Global War on Terror is winding down, and shale energy is opening up new economic and strategic opportunities. Taken together the post-Cold War era is in its final months. Zeihan plays events forward and sketches out how the Obama administration will choose to -- and be forced to -- apply American power in the months and years to come.
The Syrian Endgame
The Syrian civil war has entered its endgame, and the end of Alawite dominance heralds a geopolitical restructuring of the broader region. Iran's gambit to dominate the Persian Gulf has faltered, and will likely fail, ushering in changes that will undermine America's enemies and allies alike.
The Shale Revolution
The advent of the shale era is remaking the American energy complex. While self-sufficiency is a bridge too far, the combination of at-home investment and a lower need for Middle Eastern involvement frees up considerable American resources. The result will be a different sort of American economy, a different sort of American diplomacy, and a different role for the United States on the global stage.
