Join expert Political and Middle East analyst Jonathan Paris as he presents three scenarios for 2040.
Which country will be the most powerful in 2040: The US or China? Will a new Cold War emerge based on a Chinese sphere of interest with Russia and a US-European sphere of interest with Ukraine? Where will the Middle East fit in? Which is more relevant in a bipolar world: high population or advance technology? Will the clash of civilisations increase or weaken? Where will the world be on climate change and energy in 2040?
