The Guardian view on 2015: there are many global uncertainties, but the crises will be interconnected

From Libya’s chaos to Russia’s geopolitical ambitions, the new year will be full of problems that are difficult to disentangle

Editorial The Guardian, Tuesday 30 December 2014

At the start of 2015, the world remains full of open wounds and crises. Some crises are familiar or have gone on for years, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Iran nuclear conundrum or Syria’s devastating civil war. Others are of a more surprising nature, or at least would have been difficult to predict at the outset of 2014. Who would have guessed, a year ago, that Russia would annex Crimea? Or that global oil prices would fall by 40%? Or that North Korea would cyber-attack Sony?

Some changes were nevertheless foreseen. The western withdrawal from Afghanistan had been clearly signalled. But who would have anticipated that 2014 would see the US launch a new war in Iraq as it tries to quell a new jihadi insurgency?

Trying to guess what new disruptions might be in store for 2015 on the global stage is certainly a risky game. Harold Macmillan’s words come to mind: it is “events, dear boy, events” that drive international relations, much more so than carefully thought-out plans. But here are a few guesses.

Europe will remain a headache. New anxieties will appear over the fate of the eurozone as countries like Greece and Spain enter electoral cycles that might bring anti-establishment parties to power. European nations are losing patience with austerity. The former German foreign minister, Joschka Fischer, has called 2015 a “make or break year” for the European Union.

But Europe won’t only be faced with internal political or financial woes. Its security continues to be at stake, with outside forces bringing more potential destabilisation. In the east, there is no knowing how far Vladimir Putin will want to push his revisionist challenge to the post-1989 European order. Moldova, as well as southern regions of Ukraine, may well become new targets. As Russia heads for a deep economic recession, there is cause to expect unrest and more external adventures.

To the south, further challenges for Europe can be anticipated on the Arab rim of the Mediterranean. Libya will be the place to watch. Four years after the overthrow of Colonel Gaddafi, it is in the middle of a raging civil war. Libya is fractured, with two competing groups claiming to be the legitimate rulers: one has taken control of Tripoli, the capital; the other is based in the eastern city of Tobruk.

Libya matters to Europe not least because it is a major transit country for migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean at the risk of their lives. It also matters because of the jihadi threat as this failing state falls into further chaos. Worried about the fallout, including for the whole region of the Sahel, some African leaders are, along with France, calling for a new international intervention in Libya.

There is another African train-wreck waiting to happen. Nigeria is gearing up for tense presidential elections. It is confronted with the growing armed insurgency of Boko Haram as well as the falling price of oil (oil represents 70% of the state’s revenues). In 2015, Africa will certainly offer a picture of contrasts: on the one hand, deeply ingrained problems (failed governance, Islamist networks, conflicts); on the other, positive transformations (the mobile phone revolution, economic growth).

Amid these familiar issues, the march of international cyber-confrontation will continue to open up new challenges. There will be more spectacular hacking and cyberwarfare, as the internet becomes the arena in which state and non-state entities carry out their shows of force. In a way, the world now resembles a “Gafa” planet, the acronym for Google-Apple-Facebook-Amazon, which together account for revenues well over €300bn and half of the connected world population. These are the superpowers of the new global economy, while manufacturing growth seems to be slowing down. Falling oil prices will not only affect geopolitics but also affect the fight against global warming. If hydrocarbons come cheaper, it will be even harder to reach a new international treaty on climate change at the Paris conference next December.

Amid all the suspense, there is one certainty: in an age of great volatility and globalisation, crises will be interconnected, making it harder than ever to stand entirely aside.

With the exception of the howler on the middle east - which may have been a foreseeable unforeseen catastrophe, but the fact remains was simply not foreseen by pretty well anybody - that wasn't actually a bad set of predictions, in all fairness.

All the present conflicts?

Syria - Internal and Gulf States and Turkey.

Iraq - Grant you that one, although internal and IS have a large part.

Ukraine - Russia.

Oil fall - Saudis and world economy.

Rouble - Sanctions play a part, but mostly oil price.

I did have a sore back this morning. I'm sure that was the fault of the US hegemony.

Woaa, woooaaa; and which planet have you been living on.

Syria - we need to support the rebels; but not those rebels: oh bugger!

Iraq - US destruction of a functioning (but not nice) state.

Ukraine - Victoria Nuland - perhaps you haven't been reading the news.

Oil fall - Shale gas - it's the Saudis making a point.

Rouble - stop worrying, it's not Suez.

Ukraine "the most significant crisis" since WW2? You're joking, of course.

Not even in the top 50. I should think the US State Department spends a few minutes a day thinking about it. When your opponent is in a quagmire of its own making (and the US KNOWS all about that from its own experience), you watch from the sidelines and thank God it's not you. Oh, and laugh a little.

It's a piddling border dispute for a shrinking former superpower led by an anachronistic bully boy attempting to inflate his own importance and to avert attention from the trashing of his nation's economy through corruption and incompetence.

Germany "understands" Russia? The last time I read that was Ribbentrop/Molotov and that didn't work out too well.

NATO outdated- well, perhaps. Except all these countries keep asking to join. It seems to be a club that folks want to be a part of. Whether Germany will leave NATO to "lead" Europe seems unnecessary. Germany can "lead" Europe (and impose sanctions on Russia) without needing to put aside the nuclear umbrella which protects it at very little cost. Unless Russia were to disarm its nuclear forces, Germany has nowhere to go but NATO.

Unless of course Germany and Russia sign a Non-Aggression Pact- think how well that turned out the last time. (5766)
