Top 10 Geopolitical Risks for Business in 2026
Geopolitical risks no longer operate in isolation but as a cycle. State-led industrial competition and financial strain feed social fracture and radical politics. Those tensions then drive further coercion, regulatory pressure and grey-zone confrontation. Each force accelerates the next. This report is designed to help leaders navigate that loop with intent rather than react to it under pressure
The Revenge of Geopolitics
Globalization is in retreat, old conflicts and rivalries are re-emerging and what we are experiencing today is a product of an anarchic global system where state and non-state actors collaborate and compete based on their own self-interests rather than for any collective good. This is the revenge of geopolitics.
The Revisionist Hegemon
The United States remains the world’s leading military, economic and geopolitical power, but it is increasingly willing to revise parts of the post-1945 order it helped create. This report uses the concept of the revisionist hegemon to explain how Washington is seeking to reshape trade, technology, alliances, legal institutions, sanctions, industrial policy and hemispheric strategy around sovereignty, strategic geography, industrial resilience, national power and transactional reciprocity.
