  • Issued jointly by the US National Intelligence Council (NIC) and the European Union's Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), the report "Global Governance 2025" says the United States remains the world's most powerful country in 2010, accounting for nearly 22 per cent of the global power.

  • It is followed by China (12 per cent), and India (eight per cent). Japan, Russia and Brazil with less than five per cent each. Taken as a bloc, European Union comes second with 16 per cent of global power.

  • But an "International Futures model" measuring GDP, defense, spending, population and technology for individual states projects the relative political and economic clout of many countries will shift by 2025. The power of the US, EU, Japan and Russia would decline while that of China, India and Brazil would increase, even though there would be no change in the power list.

  • By 2025, the United States' share of global power would decline from 22 per cent to 18 per cent, while China would rise up from 12 per cent to 16 per cent to displace EU (down to 14 per cent), making U.S and China as close 1-2. India will remain in third or fourth positions (depending on whether EU bloc is counted in or not) with its share of global power going up to ten per cent.

  • @SamBakerUK its the other way around, India built your britain, without indian money and stealing in india you would not even have had an industrial revolution in europe.

    and guess what ..the world is returning to its historic norm, and that is Chindia on top and you back...to your stoneage.

    even today your economy military and political might is second to that of china and india, and that is why Obama, Merkel, Sarkozy and your Uk premier literally go begging in Beijing and New delhi.

  • JAPAN?!?!?

    REALLY?!?!?!

  • @morace250 not for long

  • @Pillman5 Hahaha your rating is crap... China, Russia and India in front of USA in the next 10 years???! Definetly not! Neither in the perspective of military power nor in the perspective of economics. Look at the facts. And North Korea, Brazil and Australia in front of Germany? Maybe because of military power. But this quickly can be fixed... I think today most important criteria for the powerfulness is the economy. A number of soldiers in a local view of time for example has no meaningfulness
