Episode notes
Geopolitical Recession
- The world order is misaligned with the balance of power, creating a geopolitical recession.
- This misalignment leads to countries breaking global commitments and increasing conflict.
Lack of Global Leadership
- A lack of global leadership is causing increased chaos, similar to the 1930s.
- The US abdicating its leadership role creates vacuums and misperceptions, emboldening revisionist powers like Russia.
Ungoverned Spaces
- Many ungoverned spaces exist in the Middle East, leading to increased misery and instability.
- Outer space is also a thinly governed space, with US-China disagreements on lunar governance increasing the risk of satellite collisions.
