Our world is at a critical juncture. New geo-economic and geopolitical relationships seem to be forming, but a clear trend of its future trajectory has not yet emerged.

The world is unpredictable and chaotic. To explore this issue, the book attempts to highlight the critical problems, threats, and challenges that shape the new geopolitical relationships and the evolution of the international system.

Both old and new threats and challenges that will play a significant role in global security and progress are examined. Thus, issues such as the threat of climate change, energy transition, the role of technological innovation, digitization, and cyberspace in the economy, social, geo-economic, and geopolitical relations, migration, international terrorism, and the role of Islamic extremism in geopolitics are analyzed.

In addition, the new geo-economic relationships are presented, and the factors that destabilize globalization, such as financial crises, inequalities, tax evasion, corruption, populism, and nationalism, are analyzed.

Finally, the issue of governing globalization is also examined.
