Global economic uncertainty is increasingly shaped by geography. The concentration of resources, the fragility of key trade corridors, the pressures of climate exposure, and widening regional disparities are now central forces in global risk. This analysis explains how these geographic dynamics are reshaping economic stability and altering the strategic landscape.

Climate stress is reshaping global food systems and widening the gap between resilient states and vulnerable regions. Rising temperatures, volatile markets, and uneven governance are turning food security into a political and strategic challenge rather than a purely agricultural one. This analysis explores how environmental pressure, economic inequality, and shifting power dynamics are redefining the global food landscape.

Most governments now mention climate change in their national security and defence strategies, yet only a handful treat it as more than a marginal issue. This analysis of nearly one hundred national documents shows how climate is squeezed into disaster management paragraphs while traditional threats still dominate. It argues that unless states rewrite their security agendas around the realities of a warming world, they will be planning for yesterday’s risks while tomorrow’s crises gather force.

Social network analysis reshaped counterterrorism by turning digital proximity into evidence of threat, but its logic clashes with the foundations of international humanitarian law. This study examines how SNA distorts targeting decisions, inflates militant networks, and undermines restraint, while identifying the limited contexts in which it can still serve as a useful analytical tool.

Rival powers are reshaping the space domain through rapid technological expansion, commercial entanglement and increasingly ambiguous military activity. As mistrust grows, even defensive measures provoke strategic uncertainty, raising the risk that orbital disruption could cascade into wider geopolitical confrontation.

Growing turbulence in the maritime and space domains is reshaping strategic competition, as disruptive tactics, fragile infrastructure and shifting industrial power undermine long-standing assumptions about global stability. The emerging contest is defined less by open confrontation than by persistent ambiguity and pressure that steadily reshapes the balance of influence.
