Escalating trade costs, driven by new tariff regimes, COVID-19, wars, and sustainability laws disrupt global supply chains and trade-led development. The 2025 US tariffs hit industrializing nations unevenly. Case studies show that export diversity boosts resilience and trade diversion gains.

A geospatial look at military presence in the RSSC: fixed bases vs. recorded naval operations plotted on the same map. The layers make it easy to spot activity clusters and proximity to key maritime passages such as Suez and Bab el-Mandeb.

A hotspot map of organized-violence fatalities across the RSSC, based on UCDP geocoded events. The focus is spatial: which areas show concentrated fatality records. Use it for quick orientation and comparative reading of where violence clusters—not why it happens.

A view of who trades with whom in the RSSC. Track each country’s exposure to external partners—Gulf states, the EU, China, among others—on both exports and imports. Compare partner shares, shifts over time, and asymmetries between countries in and outside the Greater Horn of Africa.
