In the post-pandemic world, global economics is changing dramatically. How will this impact the balance of geopolitical power? Who will be the winners and losers?
Will a slowdown in China affect its world position? Will it increase competition in Asia between Japan, India and China? Will America’s economic performance destabilize our politics and impact on our global outreach?
How will oil prices determine events in the Middle East — produce more or less jihadism, upset Iran, affect Israel? Will economic forces create crises for Putin? What are the outcomes of economic change in Europe and poorer regions of the world?
