The World Economic Forum's Global Risk Report 2010. Here is the full report (HTML). As reported by the BBC, Wall Street Journal, and Reuters.
That's pretty cool. Also, I liked that when you click a node and want to return to the main overview, the browser's back button works. Didn't expect that.

"Nanoparticle toxicity"? I can just image the nipples of whoever created this map were perky with dreadful glee when they imagined these scenarios.

Surely that tag should read "'DOOOOM!"?

Retrenchment from globalization (emerging)What about 'multiple or single dominant economies avoiding multilateral governance structures' doing this!
Multiple emerging economies adopt policies that create barriers to flows of goods, capital and labour and fail to engage with multilateral governance structures to address global challenges
New trade barriers (implicit and explicit through tariffs and subsidies) erected

It's about time people started discussing this. When I was in uni, the idea that globalization could be reversed or even impeded was not treated very seriously. That wasn't even that long ago, and the reasoning seemed to be mostly "because the internet". All it takes is a rise in nationalism, a few trade barriers, restricting access to information, and restrictions on business and travel. All of which seem to go in and out of fashion every decade or 2 when one of us rich countries takes a hit, or we discover that the world's poor are still poor despite the magic transformative powers of globalization.

I'm interested in getting hold of the software that makes these visualizations possible. They look like "mind map" visualizations, but I don't know of any mind mapping software that creates images like this one. Anyone know what it is?
