Digital: A World Pulled Apart?

It is not difficult to imagine a future of intensified strife and conflict, but is there also a chance for a more stable equilibrium to exist between the world’s powers? This edition of FARSIGHT is dedicated to examining both the fractures and divisions in an emerging multipolar world order, as well as the prospects for peaceful co-existence. It includes the insights of experts and academics on various geopolitical themes, including the rise of the 'splinternet', the emerging world order and China's place in it, the increasingly adversarial great power politics of both cyberspace and outer space, and how the breakdown of international collaboration in the Arctic heightens the risk of a nuclear ‘time bomb’ scenario.
