Geopolitical tensions will rise from "summary" of The Raging 2020s by Alec Ross
The world is on the brink of a new era marked by escalating geopolitical tensions. As we move into the 2020s, the global landscape is becoming increasingly volatile and unpredictable. The traditional power structures that have governed international relations for decades are being challenged by a new wave of conflicts and rivalries. One of the key drivers of this trend is the rise of authoritarian regimes and the decline of liberal democracies. Countries like China and Russia are asserting themselves on the world stage, challenging the dominance of the United States and its allies. This power struggle is playing out in various regions, from the South China Sea to Eastern Europe, and is likely to intensify in the coming years. At the same time, new technologies are reshaping the nature of conflict and competition between nations. Cyber warfare, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies are opening up new frontiers for geopolitical competition, with states vying for dominance in these critical domains. The race for technological supremacy is fueling tensions and rivalries, as countries seek to gain an edge over their adversaries. Moreover, the global economy is also a source of tension and rivalry among nations. Trade wars, economic sanctions, and other forms of economic coercion are being used as tools of statecraft, leading to increased friction and conflict between countries. The competition for markets, resources, and influence is driving countries to adopt more aggressive and assertive foreign policies, further fueling geopolitical tensions.- The confluence of these factors is creating a perfect storm of geopolitical instability and conflict. The coming decade is likely to be marked by escalating rivalries, power struggles, and conflicts between nations as they jockey for position in an increasingly competitive and uncertain world. The stakes are high, and the consequences of failure are grave. The only certainty is that the world is entering a period of heightened geopolitical tensions that will shape the course of history in the years to come.
