Synopsis

The world is being reconfigured. Across five interconnected chapters, this book offers a multidisciplinary roadmap to the forces redefining our century: climate breakdown, shifts in geopolitical power, technological acceleration, and their implications for societies, economies, and businesses. Beginning with a panoramic overview of globalization at a crossroads, the book reveals how climate pressures, fractured supply chains, multipolar rivalry, and digital transformation are redrawing the map of international cooperation and competition. It provides an explanation of climate change as an economic force, demonstrating how global warming, extreme weather events, and resource depletion are redefining development pathways, financial systems, and global inequality. Building on this macro perspective, the content dives into the turbulence of geopolitics, revealing how rising nationalism, great-power rivalry, and regional conflicts have created a new, unstable world order. The focus then shifts to the corporate sphere, showing how companies navigate transition risk, geopolitical uncertainty, and environmental, social, and governance pressures, supported by innovative decision-making frameworks. Finally, the book also establishes that in the technological transition, artificial intelligence, resource-intensive computing, and electronic waste are colliding with ecological limits, demanding new regulatory models, ethical principles, and corporate responsibilities. This work is intended for students, managers, policymakers, and specialists and provides an integrated lens that links climate, the economy, geopolitics, business strategy, and technology governance. It enables readers to understand global change and act within it by anticipating its risks and seizing its opportunities. In a time defined by uncertainty and transformation, this book offers the clarity needed to navigate the emerging world.
