ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:
The language of risk has become central to international politics, yet contemporary institutions still respond as if crises were isolated and sequential. That assumption no longer holds. Economic, climate, and war-related shocks intensify migration, disrupt energy and food systems, digital disinformation magnifies polarization, and demographic decline weakens the fiscal and social capacity needed for adaptation. The result is not a simple accumulation of dangers, but a new pattern of interconnected fragility.
The shift is also visible in the way risks are perceived. During the previous phase of globalization, many governments treated economic volatility as the dominant cross-border problem and assumed that technological progress would, on balance, increase efficiency faster than it increased instability. Recent evidence suggests a different picture. Risk rankings now combine classic geopolitical dangers with social, technological, and environmental pressures that interact continuously.
