The Geopolitics of 2035

By 2035, the global order will be unrecognizable compared to today. Political transformations, economic shifts, and technological advancements will reshape societies, dismantle old power structures, and introduce new forms of governance. Traditional nation-states will either adapt to these changes or be overtaken by corporate and technological entities that better manage resources and populations. The collapse of U.S. global hegemony, the expansion of China’s influence, the rise of AI-driven economies, and the breakdown of traditional political systems into populist or authoritarian models will collectively define the world in 2035. This analysis explores how these geopolitical, political, economic, and social trends will shape the future, drawing upon multiple alternative futures scenarios.
