Europe to become a Super State – More integration & power concentration is coming (Interview)
“After 45 years of a liberal Policy Mix, a multi-year process of Normalisation in Global Politics and Economics started in 2016. Fears of extreme isolation and protectionism by the USA and UK will prove as overdone. We see rather a process of correction towards the historical mean after a period of unprecedented growth in trade volumes and corporate profits along a dramatic erosion of the middle class and security across the board. The recent BREXIT and TRUMP shocks pose both an array of risks and opportunities … ” By Christian Takushi MA UZH, 3 Dec 2016.
We pointed to coming Trump Shock. A Post Elections Analysis:
The day when US Suburbs joined Rural America to defeat the Big Cities. It is a revolt against Washington and the values of Big Cities (LA, SF, NY and Chicago), but also the return of Religion as a factor. This illustration by the Univ. of Michigan reflects the social-religious divide. BREXIT and TRUMP are a sequential double-shock – We may have to go back to the double shock of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo and the Battle of Midway in WW2 to find something similar within 12 months.
A summary of the up to 24 Global Geopolitical Factors we monitor.
Our GLOBAL RISK OVERLAP MODEL (GROM) is relevant for governments, multinational firms and investors.
During Spring of 2015 our Global Risk Barometer reached the level of 9, it receded to 8.75 in Q4. In Dec 2016 the Barometer declined again contrary to the uproar by consensus and media. In August 2017 our Barometer climbed to 9.5, the highest on record. Conditions are present for a crisis, but since there are multiple possible triggers, timing a crisis eruption is difficult. That is why we continually monitor multiple factors and decline to try to ‘call’ a crisis. One thing is clear – Europe is particularly vulnerable.
We expect the Global Risk level to remain elevated throughout the (2nd) Transition Period 2017-2024. People should ready contingency plans for their businesses and families. And no longer focus on crises alone, but coping with sweeping changes.
Geopolitical Economics is a registered corporation in Switzerland. After years of developing methodologies to integrate Geopolitics and Macroeconomics, Takushi found that broadening Macro Research to include geopolitical factors improved the quality of his predictions. He thanks the many professionals, scholars and experts that are contributing to advance this research. Geopolitical Economics Ltd., Geopolitical Economics S.A. and Geopolitical Economics AG are protected names.
This new approach to Geopolitical Analysis is free of conspiracy theories, ideology and judgement: All nations pursue their national interests with all means at their disposal, just as corporations do. This is, in a way, an economist’s approach to political analysis. Applied at a global scale and aggregate levels, the Western linear-logical way of thinking is complemented by the Oriental circular worldview to improve results. With Geopolitics encompassing the political process, demographics, religion and geography among other resources, Geopolitical Economics explains many of the trends of a world in transition.
