near future: Geopolitics

The Near Future: GeopoliticsIn a world reshaped by rapid technological progress, shifting alliances, and the return of great-power competition, the future is no longer something distant—it's unfolding right now. The Near Future: Geopolitics explores the forces redefining global power in the next two decades, from the rise of regional blocs and supply-chain fragmentation to the race for technological dominance and the growing weaponization of information, energy, and trade.Blending clear analysis with forward-looking scenarios, this book offers a panoramic view of how nations will compete, cooperate, and collide in an increasingly unstable world. It examines the new strategic landscape emerging from AI, space, energy transitions, demographic imbalances, and the struggle for influence across the Indo-Pacific, Europe, and the Global South.Designed for readers who want a fast, insightful overview rather than academic abstraction, this is a guide to the realities shaping tomorrow's geopolitical order—and how they will impact economies, societies, and everyday life.
