Geopolitical expert Abishur Prakash ("Mr. Geopolitics") presents his monthly forecast on the three big geopolitical themes shaping the globe plus a wildcard that could upend the global economy.
Summary:
Theme #1: Terrorism is on the rise in Africa as radical groups attempt to seize Mali and lay seige to the capital, creating a new rift in global security.
Theme #2: The Japanese Yen has dropped to its lowest point (against USD) since the 1980s, opening the door to a fresh collision between Washington and Tokyo as Japanese exports become cheaper.
Theme #3: Governments across the globe are collapsing, creating a new crisis of governance, like in Romania, where the PM has been ousted in a no-confidence vote or in the Middle East, where Tel Aviv and Kyiv are locking horns over stolen Russian grain from occupied territories.
Expert Perspective: Analysis by Abishur Prakash, one of the world's leading geopolitical experts, speakers, and authors. This series, "Monthly Forecast" shows the major themes that could shape the globe in the month ahead.
