The pandemic has accelerated the drivers of geopolitical change and competition for global influence is intensifying. We’re moving into an era where no single country or region will dominate the world and a range of international actors will compete to advance their ambitions, ideologies and interests. This will heighten instability between and within regions at a time when global cooperation is necessary to address the challenges of climate change, cyber crime and global debt.
In the absence of one nation with the resources and willingness to lead, competition and tensions over values such as human rights and data privacy will complicate supply chains and the management of global workforces. Nowhere is this conflict of cultures more pronounced than in evolving tensions between the US and China. Technology is becoming the primary battleground with countries and companies forced to balance the adoption of 5G and AI technologies with the regulatory and reputational risks of alignment with Washington or Beijing.
As the geopolitical landscape changes, so must the way in which risk leaders protect their businesses. A thorough understanding of the interlinked geopolitical risk drivers and their impacts provides a strong foundation for prevention and protection against them and is vital for companies to maintain a competitive advantage.

A political risk premium has rapidly been built into the cost of many products amidst expectations of a shortage of supply.
As the conflict and sanctions on Russia are causing disruptions in a number of markets, the potential for raw materials to be used as weapons of foreign policy is growing.
