The world today is more interconnected than ever before. Political alliances, economic interdependencies, technological revolutions, and shared ecological challenges shape the destiny of nations in ways that were unimaginable just a few decades ago. Yet, this interconnectedness also brings unprecedented uncertainties. At the end of 2024 and during the first weeks of 2025, the global landscape was marked by profound shifts - some subtle, others seismic - that were about to reshape the geopolitical order. This book examines these dynamics and projects and how they might evolve over the next decade.

In crafting this exploration, Conan Taggert has sought to provide a panoramic view of the political, economic, cultural, and environmental forces shaping our planet. Each section delves into a critical region or theme, examining its present state and future trajectory.

Section 1 analyzes the global challenges of 2024. From climate change and resource scarcity to the rise of artificial intelligence and the implications of shifting power dynamics, this part of the book provides a foundational understanding of the key drivers shaping our world.

Section 2 focuses on North America, where the United States, Canada, and Mexico grapple with challenges and opportunities that could redefine their relationships and roles by 2035. Immigration, economic integration, and technological innovation are explored alongside potential scenarios for transnational collaboration.

Section 3 examines Europe, a continent that has long been a geopolitical bellwether. It explores how internal dynamics and external pressures may shape Europe's global influence by analyzing future trajectories for the UK, Germany, and France as significant European representatives.

Section 4 shifts the lens to East Asia, a region of dynamic transformation and intensifying rivalries. It investigates the geopolitical strategies of key players like China, Japan, and South Korea, focusing on the economic interdependencies and alliances that bind—and sometimes divide—them.

Section 5 delves into the emergence of a multipolar world. As Russia, India, and Brazil increasingly assert their influence on global governance, the author assesses their aspirations as founding members of BRICS, their challenges, and the evolving dynamics of their interactions with traditional powers.

Türkiye's unique geopolitical position at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East is the focus of Section 6. It examines how OTS's strategic priorities, cultural identity, and regional security concerns (Organization of Turcic States) may shape the world's geopolitical trajectory in the coming decade.

Section 7 explores Africa's potential future. A continent of vast diversity and untapped potential, Africa's vision, goals, and targets are influenced by factors ranging from economic development and demographic trends to climate resilience and governance reforms.

Finally, Section 8 addresses the pressing global issues of overpopulation and resource scarcity. As these challenges become increasingly urgent, this book's last section proposes strategies for managing these pressures while fostering sustainable development and equity.

These sections form a mosaic of interwoven narratives, offering insights into how the coming years might unfold. At its core, this book examines geopolitical developments and invites us to think critically about the strategies we might adopt to navigate the challenges ahead. The choices we make today will shape the world of 2035. This book invites us to consider those choices thoughtfully and critically to foster an equitable, sustainable, and resilient future. Let us embark on this journey together.
