Dr Ilias Alami, in collaboration with Dr Jess DiCarlo, Prof Seth Schindler, and Dr Steve Rolf, has published a new essay in the 2025 State of Power report of the Transnational Institute. The essay examines the US-China battle for control of global networks. In this Second Cold War, geopolitical competition is no longer a fight over territory but rather control of global networks – with increased state-led attempts to control semiconductor supply chains and electric vehicle (EV) production to digital platforms, transport infrastructure, and financial payment systems. How can the global South and social movements navigate this new geopolitical terrain?
