In his long-awaited and provocative new book, George Friedman turns his eye on the future—offering a lucid, highly readable forecast of the changes we can expect around the world during the twenty-first century. He explains where and why future wars will erupt (and how they will be fought), which nations will gain and lose economic and political power, and how new technologies and cultural trends will alter the way we live in the new century. The Next 100 Years draws on a fascinating exploration of history and geopolitical patterns dating back hundreds of years. Friedman shows that we are now, for the first time in half a millennium, at the dawn of a new era—with changes in store, including:
• The U.S.-Jihadist war will conclude—replaced by a second full-blown cold war with Russia. • China will undergo a major extended internal crisis, and Mexico will emerge as an important world power. • A new global war will unfold toward the middle of the century between the United States and an unexpected coalition from Eastern Europe, Eurasia, and the Far East; but armies will be much smaller and wars will be less deadly. • Technology will focus on space—both for major military uses and for a dramatic new energy resource that will have radical environmental implications. • The United States will experience a Golden Age in the second half of the century.
Written with the keen insight and thoughtful analysis that has made George Friedman a renowned expert in geopolitics and forecasting, The Next 100 Years presents a fascinating picture of what lies ahead.

From what I've read and although he did write about it in depth I think possibly George has underrated the pakistani threat. The Pakistani military hasnt totally burnt its bridges with the taliban. You can bet the pakistanis are banking on the nato forces to be forced to leave within the next 5 years and when they do pakistan will once again use the taliban to esentially make afghanistan another pakistani provence. The greater plan is combined they will annexe indian occupied kashmir.
You're probably right. For some reason the NATO block, while pretending to battle Islamic terrorism, is actually supporting Islamic hegemony in Eurasia. Z Brzezinksi's confessions on the NATO blocks "manufacruting" of the Islamic fundamentalist movements is on record.
The US cannot possibly maintain its ascent under these conditions. The only possibility with today's trend is the decline toward a feudal police state.
Your pretty primitive and uneducated aren't you globalistRAT? Please leave teh debate to the adults. George'sbook is fascinating I've always wondered what Turks thought of a traitorous idiot like Ataturk taking Turkey from a historic major world power into the insignificant non entity it has been the last 80 years?
Turkish power is overrated, as it was overrated back during the Ottoman Empire. When the Ottoman Empire was needed, it was given an intelligence, navy and engineering corps to occupy key regions. When it no was no longer needed, it was dropped like a dishrag. Turkey is the same dependent animal.
Also, Turkey is foreign controlled at the economic layer, military layer, intelligence layer. They just have a very fragile consistency, and that makes them the same medieval entity they were at their inception.

Power by making Cyprus people refugees in their own country? Holding the half part of the island since 1974? What good can you see in a power that takes a nation's freedom?
