Economic Trends, Political Trends and Dysfunctionalities at the Global Level

Abstract

This study examines the complex interactions between global economic and political developments, with particular attention to the structural and operational dysfunctions influencing contemporary international relations. In recent decades, rapid globalization, technological advances, and growing financial interdependence have generated both opportunities and vulnerabilities worldwide. At the same time, political phenomena—such as the rise of populism, escalating geopolitical tensions, and fragmentation within institutions—interact with economic processes, often intensifying systemic risks and complicated governance. Using a multidisciplinary methodology that integrates macroeconomic analysis, political science theories, and empirical data from international organizations, the research identifies recurring dysfunctions including market instability, policy inconsistencies, and widening socio-economic inequalities. The results highlight the critical importance of coordinated global governance and adaptive policy frameworks to address systemic risks and foster resilient, inclusive development. This paper contributes to a deeper comprehension of the intricate feedback loops between political and economic trends and their consequences for global stability.  Keywords: global economy, political trends, dysfunctionality, systemic risk, governance, globalization
