Top Risks 2025: America's role in the crumbling global order

Is international order on the precipice of collapse? 2025 is poised to be a turbulent year for the geopolitical landscape. From Canada and South Korea to Japan and Germany, the world faces a “deepening and rare absence of global leadership with more chaos than any time since the 1930s,” says Eurasia Group chairman Cliff Kupchan during a GZERO livestream to discuss the 2025 Top Risks report.

So what should we be paying attention to, and what’s the world’s #1 concern for the year ahead? Ian Bremmer analyzes the Eurasia Group's Top Risks of 2025 report with a panel of global experts.

Podcast: Trouble ahead: The top global risks of 2024

Listen: In a special edition of the GZERO podcast, we're diving into our expectations for the topsy-turvy year ahead. The war in Ukraine is heading into a stalemate and possible partition. Israel's invasion of Gaza has amplified region-wide tensions that threaten to spill over into an even wider, even more disastrous, even ghastlier conflict. And in the United States, the presidential election threatens to rip apart the feeble tendrils holding together American democracy.

The rogue Russian risk: will war in Ukraine ever end?

Vladimir Putin definitely did not have a good 2022. Will he be in trouble this year? Not in the short to medium term, says Eurasia Group Chairman Cliff Kupchan. But that doesn't mean he's completely off the hook. Putin should watch his back from the siloviki, the men in the security services. Meanwhile, Kupchan plays down the odds that Belarus will enter the war in Ukraine, which he doesn't see ending anytime soon.
