Flashpoints and Forecasts: A 2023 Global Review and What We Expect in 2024
January 2, 2024
Cross-regional, system-level stories that span multiple theaters.
Some stories don't sit cleanly inside one region. Sanctions architectures, weapons proliferation, shadow-fleet logistics, and proxy-network financing thread through three or more theaters at once - and reasoning about any single front in isolation misses the system.
Fronts uses the Global lane for system-level analysis: the connective tissue between Russia, Iran, China, and their counterparties; the international institutions whose decisions cascade everywhere; and the financial, technological, and logistical infrastructure that lets distant conflicts reinforce each other. The goal is the structural picture other coverage misses.
