BOOK DESCRIPTION
The Unmoored 2025: International Politics, Geopolitics, Security and Strategic Issues
By Dr. Naim Tahir Baig
In 2025, the foundations of the post-Cold War international order finally gave way. What had been fracturing for years-through populist upheavals, great power rivalry, and cascading regional crises-reached a critical inflection point. The Unmoored 2025 offers the first comprehensive analytical assessment of this watershed year, when simultaneous shocks to the global system accelerated the transition toward a more fragmented, contested, and dangerous multipolar world.
Dr. Naim Tahir Baig, one of the world's most prolific scholars of international relations with over 125+ published works, brings unparalleled expertise to this urgent analysis. Drawing on extensive primary sources, diplomatic communications, military assessments, and expert interviews, he chronicles how Donald Trump's return to the White House, unprecedented trade wars, intractable armed conflicts, and revolutionary technological developments converged to fundamentally reshape global affairs.
From the Rose Garden announcement of "Liberation Day" tariffs that sent shockwaves through the global economy, to the Alaska summit where Trump met Putin while Ukrainian cities burned; from Israel's 12-day war with Iran to the Kashmir crisis that brought nuclear-armed India and Pakistan to the brink-2025 witnessed a density of consequential events rarely seen in peacetime. Dr. Baig examines not only what happened, but why these events matter and what they reveal about the emerging structure of international politics.
The Unmoored 2025 combines rigorous geopolitical analysis with attention to economic interdependence, technological disruption, and the humanitarian dimensions of contemporary conflicts. Through detailed case studies of wars in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, and Kashmir, the book illuminates how the erosion of international law and multilateral institutions has enabled conflicts without end. It explores how economic warfare-through tariffs, sanctions, and supply chain decoupling-has become as consequential as military confrontation. And it demonstrates how artificial intelligence, cyber operations, and space-based systems are transforming the nature of strategic competition itself.
The work is distinguished by its global scope and non-Western perspective. Dr. Baig provides essential insights from South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Global South vantage points often absent from mainstream international relations scholarship. His analysis of China's strategic calculus, Europe's struggle for autonomy, and the rise of BRICS offers readers a truly multipolar understanding of contemporary world politics-one that refuses to privilege any single power's narrative.
The Unmoored 2025 concludes with scenario-based strategic forecasting for 2026 and beyond, offering readers not merely understanding of what has occurred, but insight into what may come-and what choices might still be made to steer toward managed multipolarity rather than cascading crisis.
In an age when authoritative, evidence-based analysis of global affairs has never been more necessary, Dr. Baig has produced a landmark work of contemporary international relations scholarship. This is the definitive account of the year the old order cracked-and the struggle to determine what will replace it.
