Trump enters
office at a time of dynamic change, not only in U.S. political and
economic life but also in the structure of the international system. Of
the many unanswered questions surrounding foreign policy under Trump,
few are more significant than the future of the U.S. relationships with
Russia and China. While Trump will face
many of the same political, institutional and geopolitical constraints
as outgoing President Barack Obama, he will face them differently and,
perhaps, achieve very different ends.
POLITICS
No
matter what approach the incoming administration takes to challenge
China's political and economic system, Beijing will be focused on its
own priorities.
FINANCE

boon for the Cuban economy, one Havana will work to protect.

ANNUAL FORECAST
Long-term

ECONOMY
Chile's
market-based approach to water management may promote more sustainable
consumption patterns, but it also shows the potential pitfalls of
privatization.
