Global Political Dynamics After the 2024 Election

Global political dynamics after the 2024 election show a number of significant changes that could affect relations between countries and domestic policies. With the election results shaking many countries, including Indonesia, a reorganization of power is starting to be seen in various parts of the world. First, previously dominant parties began to lose support, while new political movements emerged with promises of change. One of the post-election highlights was the increasing tension between major countries. Especially the United States and China, which continue to compete in economic and military aspects. The US, which is experiencing a change in leadership, is pushing for a more aggressive foreign policy, while China is strengthening regional dominance through the Belt and Road initiative. This also impacts smaller countries that are caught up in the two powers’ rivalry, often forced to choose sides. In Europe, the rise of populism is of particular interest. Countries such as France and Germany saw far-right parties gain significant votes, indicating dissatisfaction with immigration and economic policies. For the European Union, this opens up the potential for greater internal divisions and challenges to achieving common agreement on foreign policy. In Southeast Asia, political dynamics after the 2024 election are forming new alliances. As Indonesia plays a strategic role in ASEAN, neighboring countries are starting to see synergies in facing regional challenges. Cooperation in the digital economy and maritime security is the main focus, encouraging more inclusive and stable economic growth for all members. The climate crisis is increasingly pressing to the front of the global agenda, with election results casting a strong vote for more aggressive action to tackle climate change. The newly elected countries are committed to implementing green policies and investing in renewable energy. This is an important step amidst global awareness about the negative impacts of global warming. At the domestic level, issues such as economic inequality, human rights, and justice system reform are starting to receive more attention. The new leader is committed to evaluating and reforming unjust policies and promoting social justice. Protests and social movements can be expected to increase, especially in countries where the people’s voice is only beginning to be heard. The growth of technology is also changing the face of global politics. Social media and information technology serve as powerful mobilization tools, but they can also spread false information. Countries are now challenged to strike a balance between free speech and protection against disinformation. Through these complex dynamics, the role of multilateral diplomacy becomes increasingly important. International organizations need to adapt to the new realities shaped by the election results. For example, the G20 and COP26 summits are expected to be important platforms for unifying global vision. Overall, the impact of the 2024 elections forms the basis for a new political order that will influence international relations, the economy, and security. Countries must commit to more constructive cooperation and diplomacy to face shared challenges in the future, bringing hope and opportunity in the face of existing uncertainty.
