-

Divergence in geo-economic and political trends across the regions of the world presents significant challenges in the year ahead. As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine lumbers on, conflict in West Asia, political instability in the Sahel and West Africa, and enduring tensions in East Asia continue to raise regional security considerations while simultaneously reflecting an international order in transition.
