Abstract: In an era marked by unprecedented geopolitical uncertainty, Mergers, Acquisitions, and Geopolitical Challenges in the Global Market explores the intricate ways global events shape the landscape of mergers and acquisitions (M&As). From the COVID-19 pandemic to ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, this book offers a timely analysis of how these disruptions affect corporate strategies and economic stability and is essential for understanding the interplay between geopolitics and business operations. This comprehensive guide goes beyond traditional M&A considerations, incorporating geopolitical risks, regulatory changes, and technological advancements into the strategic equation. Readers will gain insights into why companies sometimes increase investments in unstable regions, how to capitalize on unique market opportunities amidst turmoil, and the complexities of divestment in high-risk environments. The book also provides actionable advice for firms to navigate these challenges effectively and highlights new research avenues for scholars. This edited collection is an indispensable resource for academic researchers and will also be of interest to corporate executives, M&A professionals, and policymakers. It offers valuable perspectives for those involved in strategic decision-making and provides advanced students with a nuanced understanding of the evolving M&A landscape in a volatile geopolitical context.
