Morphology
geopolitical = geopolitics (semi-transparent) = geo + politics + al
Adding -al to geopolitics is regular, but the resulting adjective is a specialized academic term rather than a fully literal combination.
Etymology
The word geopolitical comes from geo- 'earth' (as in geography) and political 'relating to government'. So it helps you think about how a country's land, location, resources and people shape its power and the way it deals with other countries.
