Morphology

geopolitically = geopolitical (semi-transparent) = geo + politic + al + ly

The adverb is a straightforward addition of -ly to the adjective 'geopolitical', but the base adjective is a specialized term and may not be fully transparent to all learners.

Etymology

Geopolitically combines geo- ('earth') and political ('about government and power'), just like in geography and politics. So, to act geopolitically is to make choices based on a country's location and how that location changes its political power.
