Pacts can assist member countries in achieving foreign policy objectives and securing national interests. These pacts have diverse and numerous functions, influenced by geopolitical indicators to varying degrees. Naturally, their impact extends across national, local, regional, and transregional levels. Therefore, this research focuses on examining and analyzing the geopolitical indicators used in power calculations. The functions of pacts can manifest in significant political, security, economic, commercial, cultural, and social dimensions, and they can be applied in regional pacts.
This analytical-descriptive study relies on library resources, documents, articles, and relevant websites for data collection. Additionally, a structured questionnaire was prepared to gather experts' opinions on the analysis of geopolitical indicators for membership in regional pacts. Finally, the collected data underwent analysis using SPSS software and relevant tests. The study also strives to weigh countries' membership in regional pacts based on political, security, economic, commercial, cultural, and social components, and the impact of geopolitical indicators at various levels on the countries' membership process to regional pacts.
