Geopolitics of Capitalism State of Power 2025

State of Power
120 minutes read

Geopolitical rivalry is reshaping our planet as reactionary nationalists take power. Our 13th State of Power report explores whether this is the end of US imperialism and the beginning of a Chinese empire, the way nationalism is reshaping neoliberal globalisation, and the implications of a shifting global order for the vast majority of the world and for social movements fighting for justice.
