Geopolitics, global governance, and Earth systems.
Hergemony is an independent international affairs institute focused on geopolitics, global governance, Earth systems stewardship, and strategic risk. The institute examines how power, institutions, and planetary constraints shape international stability and coordination in an increasingly complex world.
Hergemony convenes a monthly public discussion known as The Hergemony Hour, held on the first day of each month at 7:00 PM Sydney time.
Institutional clarity for a changing international order.
Hergemony provides rigorous, future-oriented analysis on geopolitical dynamics, international institutions, and the stewardship of Earth’s shared systems. The institute emphasizes serious policy thinking, strategic foresight, and long-horizon institutional responsibility in an era of environmental, technological, and geopolitical pressure.
Meaning
Earth as the shared horizon
The name Hergemony reflects the idea that governance increasingly concerns the stewardship of the Earth itself — the shared planetary systems on which all societies depend.

05
Strategic and catastrophic risk
Assessment of high-impact, low-probability risks including nuclear incidents, advanced technological risks, infrastructure failure, and planetary-scale hazards, with a focus on governance, preparedness, and international coordination.
Recent insight themes.
Publish concise papers, perspective notes, and analytical commentary in a format that reads more like an institute than a blog.
Geopolitics in a Planetary Era
How climate systems, infrastructure, diplomacy, and resource pressures are converging into a new strategic landscape.
The Future of Global Governance
Why institutions built for an earlier era are being tested by transnational complexity and planetary-scale coordination problems.
Strategic Risk and Catastrophic Governance
How institutions can prepare for high-impact, low-probability risks that threaten international stability and human security.
Strategic risk and catastrophic risk governance.
Hergemony examines high-impact, low-probability risks that could significantly disrupt international stability, human security, or planetary systems. The focus is on governance, preparedness, and institutional coordination in the face of systemic global risks.
Risk Area 01
Nuclear and strategic risks
Nuclear weapons, nuclear energy accidents, escalation dynamics, and the governance structures designed to prevent large-scale strategic catastrophe.
Risk Area 02
Technological and experimental risks
Emerging technologies, advanced research, and experimental systems that may carry systemic or poorly understood risks requiring international oversight and governance.
Risk Area 03
Planetary and infrastructure risks
Space weather, asteroid risk, critical infrastructure failure, and global system disruptions affecting energy, communications, and supply chains.
Advancing strategic insight for geopolitics, governance, Earth systems, and catastrophic risk.
How Hergemony works.
Hergemony is designed as a low-frequency institute: periodic public discussion, selective written output, and limited paid strategic engagements.
