It is also a systemic test. What began as a military escalation has quickly become an energy shock, a market shock and a governance shock.

Within days, geopolitical risk has translated into economic consequence.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For leaders navigating multilateral affairs, the question is not only how this war unfolds, but what it reveals.
