It’s always lovely when everything you’ve talked about throughout your career decides to happen all at once. At this critical decade, how will the globes trade routes fare? And which routes will fracture first?
There are three major trade routes that come to mind. Southeast Asia is made up of many regional states that rely upon each other, so none of them want this to shut down. While this should hold, there are some other players (China, Japan, and India) that could add some tension. The Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz are easy to disrupt and will likely be the first to go; this will have an outsized impact on places like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China, that rely on oil coming through here. And the last route to keep an eye on is the Baltic Sea; the Ukraine War’s outcome will likely determine what happens here.
