Which sector/trading strategy incorporates the most geopolitics in its research?

I'm a first year ER associate who is currently doing healthcare companies and not liking the process - getting deep in the weeds on random molecular interactions just isn't what I want to do in my career.

I like investing and I like geopolitics and current affairs. Is there any sector coverage or strategy that incorporates a lot of thinking around geopolitics to generate alpha?
