Geopolitical mega-trends

These are the trends that express the influence and interaction between certain phenomena and international relations. In the past, the most significant context was the strategic one, and its impact on security and defense systems. Today, other factors are also taken into consideration, including the environment and climate change, control and abuse of natural resources, demographic issues, border security, and more.

The World Economic Forum lists four current geopolitical trends:[57] tensions between nationalism and internationalism; disruption of international norms that intensify interpower tensions, i.e., trends affected by the intensifying national discourse within the superpower, which leads to a rising need to promote national interests over preserving and developing bilateral relations; escalation of nation’s economic stances, another result of promoting national interests, as chiefly expressed by the changes to the US-China trade agreement, but also by the US’s steadily decreasing economic support of global projects; and the intensification of political and economic pressure on small nations, which destabilizes them, e.g., the Middle East, Myanmar, Venezuela, Greece and various nations in central Africa.

Geopolitical trends shape many aspects of the international terrain, for instance Russia’s relationship with the West and its involvement in the Middle East, China’s attempts at expansion and the extent of its impact in some parts of the world, the rise of populism in South America and the influence on their relationships with the superpowers.[58]
