By 2026, the global security environment has entered a phase defined less by isolated crises than by systemic instability. The risks no longer emerge in linear or predictable ways, instead they compound across domains - geopolitical, technological, economic, and societal - creating cascading effects that overwhelm traditional policy responses. This includes the distinction between domestic and external threats eroding and replaced by a security landscape where shocks propagate rapidly through global networks. This transformation presents not only external dangers but also internal strategic stress tests for Malaysia, a middle power whose prosperity rests on openness, stability, and regional equilibrium.
