Recent developments in the world and the strong European commitment to a regulating globalization argue in favor of a forward looking analysis. This publication underlines major future trends: geopolitical transformations in terms of population, economic development, international trade and poverty. Secondly, it identifies the likely tensions: natural resources (food, energy, water and minerals), migrations or urbanization. It also defines possible transitional pathways: towards a new production and consumption model, towards new rural-urban dynamics, towards a new gender and intergenerational balance.--Publisher's description.
