Morphology

geostrategy = strategy (semi-transparent) = geo + strategy

The word is transparently built from 'geo-' and 'strategy', but the full meaning is a specialized academic term rather than a fully literal combination.

Etymology

The word geostrategy begins with geo- meaning 'earth' or 'land', like in geography, and ends with strategy meaning 'a plan for action'. So geostrategy is about making long-term plans and policies based on a country's location and land features.
