Ports and terminals are vital nodes in the global trade network and economy, serving as the main gateways for the movement of goods and people around the world. The last few years they were transformed from critical hubs for global trade to strategic assets that can shape geopolitical dynamics. This thesis aims to answer the research question of how China, Singapore and UAE utilize their major state-owned ports and terminals operators to gain geopolitical leverage. The entities included in the study are COSCO Group, China Merchants Ports Group for China, PSA Group for Singapore, DP World Group and Abu Dhabi Ports Group for the United Arab Emirates. Through a detailed analysis of the geopolitical leverage theory and of the state-owned enterprises, this study objects to demonstrate that the global presence of these enterprises is not just a commercial venture but a deliberate strategy to enhance their nations power worldwide.
