Top 10 New Geopolitical Shocks: The Next 12-15 Months
In Q1 2026, businesses and economies are caught between deals and disorder.
The agreements, rules, and integration that many rely on are quickly eroding. Few governments are acting in predictable ways. At the same time, the existing global headaches, from wars to nationalism, are escalating, testing the geopolitical readiness of everybody.
Already, operations are being squeezed, as investments are sidelined or expansion is redefined.
But now, in the background of all this, new disruptions are appearing. They span technology, connectivity, trade, and more. They threaten to push companies to their limits and unravel billion-dollar projects. Few organizations are prepared for what is about to strike.
Executives face a new geopolitical onslaught. Resilience and long-term success are once again in the air.
What begins in Q1 2026 will transform companies into masters of geopolitics - or into remanents of what they once were.
“Understanding what will happen next is the only way to navigate what is happening now.” -Abishur Prakash, Founder, The Geopolitical Business, Inc
