The world in 2017: always alert, never frightened (DIEEEM03-2017)

The year 2017 has been defined as "the year of the revolution" by The Economist, a revolution that comes from power, especially after the victory of Donald Trump in the United States presidential elections. Uncertainty and complexity continue to take on new dimensions, with institutions showing difficulties to manage these new environments. Trends and indicators pointed, years ago, to what has been materializing in 2016 and will continue in the new year. Sometimes the perception is that the future has come to us too soon, that has not been seen or, as Paul Valery said, that "the future is not as it was before." This document highlights the political, economic, social, technological, environmental and security aspects that may possibly mark the year, as well as general reflections on a state that will be permanent, between order and chaos.
