GPC
Great Power Competition (GPC) is the strategic rivalry between major global nations, primarily the United States, China, and Russia. This competition is waged across multiple fronts, including economic, technological, diplomatic, and military domains, to gain global influence.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Great Power Competition (GPC) is a military and geopolitical doctrine defining the long-term, multi-domain strategic rivalry between peer and near-peer nation-states, such as the United States, the People's Republic of China (PRC), and Russia. The framework encompasses competition across diplomatic, information, military, and economic (DIME) instruments of national power to shape the international order.
