Across eight papers, originally published between January and September 2025, we follow the emergence of a new global economic order, Britain reimagining its industrial future, Asia wrestling with tariffs and trade wars, Europe confronting an existential survival test, supply chains pulled back and pushed around, tech titans constructing a new global backbone, semiconductors weaponised as statecraft, and occupiers making disciplined moves to steady themselves amid turbulence. Taken together, they capture a sector under extraordinary pressure and experiencing extraordinary reinvention.
