World's Leading Political Scientist: One Small Island Controls 90% Of Iran's Oil | Prof. Ian Bremmer
The global landscape is shifting as the United States retreats from its traditional geopolitical roles while China consolidates long-term dominance through critical mineral and technology strategies. Concurrently, instability in the Middle East is driving the formation of new defense blocs, and the emergence of high-risk artificial intelligence models is accelerating fears of systemic economic disruption and severe social inequality. Although Europe faces demographic and regulatory decline, the prevailing outlook suggests that human resilience and potential international cooperation will eventually mitigate these technological and political challenges.

Uncharted territory: Navigating a ‘geopolitical recession’
Jared Cohen, Ian Bremmer, Allison Nathan
Former State Department official Jared Cohen and political analyst Ian Bremmer describe a global "geopolitical recession" where domestic political pressures in the US and China have eroded traditional governance, creating a credibility deficit that forces all sectors into the crossfire of great power rivalry. While the Middle East conflict has isolated Washington and empowered Iran, strategic stabilization has emerged in US-China relations driven by Beijing's economic fragility, leaving a leadership void that can only be partially filled by climate cooperation. The speakers advise businesses to abandon pure efficiency for "intellectual efficiency," targeting geopolitical swing states like India and the Gulf nations to navigate an era defined by fragmented trade blocs and supply chain weaponization.
