Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses the potential transformation of geopolitics over the next 30 years and the global challenges humanity may face. The world is undergoing a historical transition, with economic and political power rebalancing, and as a result future politics will be moving towards more openness or resistance to change. China is predicted to become the world’s largest economy and a more significant political actor, and the proportion of economies with a high degree of state ownership and control is expected to increase sharply. Emerging power hubs by 2050 may include Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, the Philippines, Turkey and Vietnam. Furthermore, future conflicts will likely be more about spheres of influence, water, resources and supply lines and less about territory. The chapter concludes with a discussion on how international trade impacts global poverty and the potential impact of policy decisions on globalization and climate change on a global scale.
