As the new year comes in full force, political risk consultants reflect on the major topics of 2023 and predict what will be the most influential conflicts of 2024. In general, the new year can be summarized in one term: the annus horribilis, or the year of disaster and misfortune.
Every year, Eurasia Group, a political risk consultancy, releases their top 10 predictions for what international and global affairs will look like, as well as what the public should keep an eye out for. They believe that 2024 will look similar to 2023 in regards to conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war and Israel-Hamas war. However, for the upcoming months, they will see much higher stakes.
