Will Donald Trump’s victory upend the global order—and your business’s strategy?
Uncover answers to these questions on Economist Education’s course on geopolitics, and discover how Trump’s second term could affect international relations
Businesses around the world are scrambling to understand the implications of Donald Trump’s victory in the American election. Uncertainty reigns, thanks to the president-elect’s strident agenda. To judge from Trump’s pronouncements, he could impose eye-watering trade tariffs and strike a controversial deal to end the Ukraine war. But will these things happen, and what might be the consequences if they did?
These and other crucial questions are explored by participants on Economist Education’s six-week online course, International relations: China, Russia, the US and the future of geopolitics. With incisive analysis and engaging activities, the programme equips executives with knowledge and analysis to respond to geopolitical shifts; already, hundreds of leaders, many with responsibility for their organisation’s strategy, have benefited. Now, the course is being updated to assess the ramifications of Trump 2.0.
Drawing on Economist Education’s shared DNA with The Economist, and on the expertise of the newspaper’s journalists, the programme examines the dynamics reshaping geopolitics, technology and trade—and, potentially, your business. It explores the world affairs executives need to comprehend, from the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East to the flashpoints of North Korea and Taiwan; and from international negotiations over climate change to global competition in artificial intelligence. At the course’s heart lies an analysis of the fraught relationship between the US and China, taking in issues including military rivalry and economic frictions. In all these areas, the new American president promises to make his presence felt.
Economist Education’s international-relations programme gives you a framework to consider how such factors could affect your organisation. Adding to the course’s written analysis, The Economist’s journalists and leading global figures provide insights in a rich line-up of videos and podcasts. Your experience will be further enhanced through feedback from specialist tutors, and through moderated forums that furnish you with ample opportunities to network with fellow executives. You will also have full access to The Economist’s analysis of world events, through a complimentary three-month digital subscription.
America enters a new era as the world struggles with long-standing challenges. This course helps you grasp what it all means for you.
