First Annual Geopolitical Report 2024

Profound and swift geopolitical transformations have marked the world in 2024, affecting the very structure of the international system and the balance of power between nations.
2024 was most significantly marked by the ongoing war in Ukraine, which will have repercussions on security in Europe and the world. The evolution of the U.S.-China conflict signaled a shift from an economic rivalry to a struggle for global influence and dominance—especially with the return of former U.S. President Donald Trump to the White House. Africa witnessed major strategic and political transformations. The Middle East saw an escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the fall of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime at the end of the year.
These changes will continue to shape the destinies of countries in many geopolitical spheres over a protracted period of time, making monitoring and analyzing them necessary and instrumental for key decision-makers.
