We explore the research on supply chain resilience in severe multi-dimensional crises, focusing on geopolitical institutions, infrastructure initiatives, and strategic approaches to analysis and planning. A recent response to global supply chain shocks resulting from crises, including the worldwide pandemic and Russia-Ukraine conflict, has accelerated the growth of global and regional alliances, specifically targeting infrastructure, transparency, connectivity, trade, and transportation resilience building. This research provides a comprehensive summary of this new institutional dynamic in the context of strategic analysis and planning for supply chain resilience. As global crises expand in scope, multinational enterprises (MNEs) should increasingly rely on geopolitical institution support, especially downstream supply chain sources. Without such support, access to critical resources, infrastructure, transportation, and connectivity is at a high risk of being cut off. Since 2021, there has been a rapid expansion of geopolitical infrastructure initiatives, United Nations Trade and Development (UNCTAD) reporting and support services, and global adoption of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into corporate strategic planning, all tied to building more crisis-resilient global supply chains.
