The Research Team

Our research team operates independently from ESI’s consulting services, offering in-depth analysis on the geopolitical and economic forces shaping global trade and investment. Focused on emerging risks and opportunities across Eurasia, our analysts provide fresh perspectives on critical developments in energy, supply chains, and international affairs.

This platform allows our analysts to explore key global issues, contributing to a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape. While separate from client work, their insights help inform strategic thinking and provide valuable context on the forces driving change.
