Without the big picture, the details don’t make sense.


Every day the media produces an overwhelming amount of material, projected through the biases of whatever interests pay their bills. A recent Gallup poll found that 62 percent of Americans think the news media favors a political party. If you’re in that 62 percent, you feel increasingly frustrated searching for the truth. It’s impossible to understand complex geopolitical problems and make informed decisions if the news you get is spun to serve someone else’s interests. Let’s face it – major media outlets need reader clicks and eyeballs. They get those clicks through worry-inducing headlines. Their bottom line is your anxiety.


But you don’t have to worry any longer – you’ve got a solution at hand.

New York Times bestselling author and renowned thought leader George Friedman founded Geopolitical Futures to disrupt the conversation about international news. This industry has been overrun with so-called experts and media outlets that only give you the “what” without the “why.”

This model led us to forecast chaos in the European Union, Russia’s military forays into Ukraine and Georgia, China’s economic slowdown and more – while mainstream media was still touting the grand European project, Russia’s warming relations with the West and China’s miracle growth.

But by now that’s all old news. You can get ahead of the curve and see what’s going to happen with our 2018 forecast.
Find out:
What the United States’ social and political gridlock means for its foreign policy

What Russia will have to do to ensure political stability
How India will capitalize on a rare moment of national unity
Which events will drive change in South America
And for all of these issues – why
Here’s how it works

We start by holding ourselves accountable and reviewing how we did in our 2017 forecast. This is important to us for two reasons. First, because it’s impossible to imagine the future without understanding the history. And second, because there can be no truth without transparency.

Only after that can we accurately analyze global trends and international actors’ capabilities and intentions to forecast the future of the world in 2018. This rigorous approach is why you can feel confident in our predictions and use them to navigate your business, investing and personal decisions throughout the year.

The 2018 forecast is available now, and we want to get it into your hands as soon as possible.
