"Geopolitical Shifts and Challenges: What to Expect in 2024"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Gatestone Institute
The year 2024 is poised to be a period of significant political uncertainty and instability, with challenging elections in major countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, and potential government reshuffles in nations like Germany and Russia. The global pendulum is swinging towards conflict and state failures, with ongoing wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and increasing instability in countries like Sudan and Myanmar. Multilateralism is on the decline, with the UN Security Council becoming inoperative and a rise in bilateral efforts to address economic and security issues. Economic nationalism is gaining traction as countries prioritize self-sufficiency over global interdependence, with a shift away from the principles of globalism towards a focus on narrow national interests.
