Morphology

geostrategist = strategist (semi-transparent) = geo + strategy + ist

The word is built by adding geo- to strategist, but the specialized geopolitical sense is slightly domain-specific rather than fully literal.

Etymology

Geostrategist combines geo- ('earth' or 'land') and strategy ('a plan' or 'the use of power'), seen also in geography and strategy. So a geostrategist is someone who makes plans about places, borders, and resources and how they affect politics.
