I think the big risk at present is the bifurcation of global systems into what is conveniently if perhaps misleadingly called:

1. The 'Rule of Law' nations, usually liberal democracies

2. The autocracies that can verge on kleptocracies.

The first tend to be more effective and efficient, forming alliances and with a basis of trust oiling the cogs.

Gnawing away as risks in 1) are the actions of some, often the self appointed 'entitled ones' resorting to lawfare and other coercive actions.
