2025 promises to test the resilience of governments and the strength of international alliances.

While 2024 was marked by leadership transitions and rising tensions, 2025 will bring pivotal elections in Germany, Australia, and Canada, as left-leaning governments navigate their bids for re-election.

Political stability remains uncertain, with recent unrest in South Korea highlighting vulnerabilities even in established democracies. In the U.S., Donald Trump’s return to the presidency is set to reshape global dynamics, impacting relations with China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, as well as alliances with Europe, the UK, and global institutions like the UN.
