Decade Forecast 2025-2035: Critical Factors Shaping the Coming Decade

In the 2025-2035 decade, the multipolar global system will be driven by national self-interest, rising unilateralism, weakening traditional blocs, and middle powers asserting their regional influence, while post-WWII multilateral institutions like the UN and WTO lose relevance to bilateral and mini-lateral arrangements.

Our forecast covers an overview of the main contours of the world system — its political, economic, and security components — and includes an examination of five critical factors that will shape the coming decade:

• Artificial Intelligence
• Climate Change
• Energy Transition
• Space
• Cyberspace
