Analysis
The RISE Perspective
“In matters of state, decisions must be guided by interests and necessity, not by sentiment or ideology.”
— Inspired by Richelieu’s concept of raison d’État
The Richelieu Institute for Strategy and Economics is an independent research initiative dedicated to the analysis of global power dynamics through the interaction of politics, economics, and defense.
Grounded in a realist and strategic approach, RISE seeks to provide clear, structured, and historically informed analysis of international developments in an increasingly competitive and fragmented world. By integrating geopolitical, geoeconomic, and security perspectives, the institute aims to better understand the forces shaping contemporary global affairs and the strategic choices confronting states, institutions, and economic actors.
