The Americas is home to powerful economies and vibrant democracies. However, many countries in the region experience democratic backsliding—the erosion or total elimination of political institutions that are meant to guarantee democratic principles and freedoms. This breakdown in governance has fueled conflicts, including a humanitarian crisis in Venezuela and rampant crime in Central America. In turn, violence and poverty have pushed millions to flee their countries to seek refuge and economic opportunities abroad, often in the United States.

Learn how Europe, a region with a long history of conflict, reinvented itself after World War II, creating lasting peace through economic and political integration, culminating in the establishment of the European Union. Today, European institutions are being tested, as Europe navigates a series of challenges: mass migration, globalization, rising inequality, financial turmoil, terrorism, and a resurgent Russia. The world will watch how Europe responds. Learn more about Europe at: https://world101.cfr.org/rotw/europe

The Middle East & North Africa is a diverse region that was once home to great civilizations. Today, however, this region is weighed down by several challenges, including repressive governments, struggling economies, and geopolitical rivalries that inflame local conflicts. But, in many ways, the problems that affect this region reverberate far beyond its borders. In an increasingly interconnected world, challenges related to energy supplies, refugees, nuclear weapons, and terrorism have global implications. These issues have driven countries to intervene in the Middle East’s affairs repeatedly, with enormous consequences for the hundreds of millions of people in the region and billions around the world.

With over a billion people, India is the region’s largest country and the world’s biggest democracy. But India’s troubled relationship with its neighbor Pakistan looms over the region. As the countries of South Asia set off on the path of economic growth, the relationship between these two nuclear-armed countries affects virtually every aspect of the region’s future including trade, terrorism, and foreign policy.

Fifty years ago, life expectancy, education, and GDP in East Asia and the Pacific were well below the global average. Today, the region is home to some of the world’s largest financial centers, most innovative tech hubs, and fastest high-speed trains. For decades, Japan and the Four Asian Tigers (Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan) led the region economically, but today no country can compare to China, whose rise has turned it into the world’s second-largest economy. This economic success has also come with greater geopolitical ambitions as China works to expand its influence around the world and as far afield as the Arctic Circle. With China rising and other Asian economies continuing to grow, this region commands our attention—because what happens here will affect the rest of the world.

Reservation is a system of affirmative action in India that provides historically disadvantaged groups representation in education, employment and politics. Based on provisions in the Indian Constitution, it allows the Indian government to set reserved quotas or seats, which lower the qualifications needed in exams, job openings etc. for “socially and economically backward citizens.”
