international relations. Natural resources, such as oil, gas, and minerals, are the lifeblood of modern
economies and play a significant role in shaping international relations. However, the exploitation of natural
resources has also been a source of conflict, corruption, and organized crime.
Explained Planet is a news blog that aims to unravel the complexities of the geopolitics of natural resources
and international trafficking. The blog will explore the actors involved in the logistics and politics behind
the news, from the producers to the consumers and everyone in between. Our focus will be on organized crimes,
international relations with a focus on international trafficking, and the geopolitics of natural resources.
We will explore all the actors involved and map their journeys, from drugs to industrial gases.
Explained Planet will heavily rely on maps and infographics to illustrate the complexities of the issues we
discuss. We believe that visual aids can help convey complex concepts and ideas more effectively than words
alone.
Our blog posts will be updated regularly to ensure that our readers are up-to-date with the latest news on
international relations and trafficking, the energy sector, and international crime. We hope that our readers
will find our blog informative and insightful.
