This report speculates on the directions global development might take up to the year 2035. As part of his analysis, the text's author focuses on 1) how economic, social, demographic and technological forces will add “pressures” on global society; 2) how the breakdown of the post-Cold War order could lead to greater risks of sustained conflict, particularly in the Middle East; and 3) the alternative futures which may appear by 2035, including the failure of globalization and a return to protectionism, the rise of city-states, etc.
