GLOBAL TRENDS 2025 By 2025, the international system will be a global multi-polar one with gaps in national power continuing to narrow between developed & developing countries. Concurrent with the shift in power among nation-states, the relative power of various non-state actors including businesses, tribes, religious organisations, and criminal networks is increasing. The players are changing, but so too are the scope and breadth of transnational issues important for continued global prosperity? The next 20 years of transition to a new system are fraught with risks. Strategic rivalries are most likely to revolve around trade, investments, and technological innovation and acquisitions, but we cannot rule out a 19th century-like scenario of arms races, territorial expansion, and military rivalries? This is a story with not clear outcome? (These) trends suggest major discontinuities, shocks, and surprises (Known Unknowns).
