ZeroFox Intelligence Geopolitical Brief for April 2023

Product Serial: B-2023-03-30a

TLP:CLEAR

In this ZeroFox Intelligence Geopolitical Brief for April 2023, one main area of concern is the worldwide protests, led by those in France, Israel, Germany, and Kenya, that are expected to continue. Another is the slew of forthcoming elections, including in the large emerging economies of Thailand, Greece, and Turkey. There are other upcoming elections in Europe, Latin America, and Asia to consider, which will likely influence the ease of doing business. Finally, the geopolitical dispute between the U.S. and China focused on restricting and controlling access to advanced technologies continues to develop, with retaliation likely against Western states and companies that adhere to U.S.-led initiatives. This topic includes more countries and business sectors and could potentially replace Russia's war in Ukraine as the main area of geopolitical risk.
