Coercion Resilience Mapper
Maps commodity-corridor exposure under great-power rivalry and compares how defensive measures restore resilience after a shock. The current analytical environment is centred on Ghanaian trade, infrastructure and commodity relationships.
What the model examines
Which commodity corridors create concentrated exposure to external pressure and which countermeasures restore strategic position at an acceptable cost?
How the model is structured
A composite exposure model combines trade concentration, state capacity and corridor dependency. Monte Carlo shock simulation generates uncertainty bands across the chosen horizon while countermeasure profiles estimate recovery, cost and implementation time. A coercion ladder maps escalation thresholds across powers and shock types.
