Abstract

What is the big picture of global politics, and can we even draw one? Three simultaneous dynamics shape global developments, yet they are difficult to think together. The first is a return of great power rivalry. Second is global management of shared dangers like climate change, AI and quantum computing. These two geopolitical dynamics interact, blocking and reinforcing each other. Increasingly, both are conditioned by a third force in world politics: new agendas coming from the ‘Global South’. This talk maps our geopolitical challenges and possibilities in 3D.
