Rising Powers: The New Global Reality

The global order is changing. The 21st century will be marked by many competing sources of global power. Across politics, economics, culture, military strength, and more, a new group of countries has growing influence over the future of the world.

Rising Powers: The New Global Reality is a Stanley Foundation project designed to raise awareness, motivate new thinking, and ultimately improve US foreign policy regarding this global transformation. Our aim is to discuss several of the countries challenging the global order, major issues which cut across national boundaries, and how all of this will impact American lives.

China and India will be the only countries to become mega powers to match and then surpass the US within this century, for sure.

You Hindu fanatics are all intoxicated on cow urine. India is a failed state and a sham democracy. Your Human Development Index is worst than subsahara africa. You're so ridiculously brainwashed by you government and media who proclaim superpower status over any minute advancement. You can't even build toilets for 800 million people who are forced to defecate openly. Get the fuck out of here and get me some curry beef!

@harkes12 Is India's economic growth outstripping her population growth? It is a huge challenge for a developing democracy to try and limit its population growth.

@jewishwarrior666 Many states are able to provide toilets for population but will never be considered for superpower status. As someone who lives in europe i could criticise the USA for being unable to provide basic healthcare to its people. China and the USA have alot in common despite their differing political systems. Does it matter who is number 1 or 2, the respective citizens at the bottom of the pile probably feel no real difference.

No one ever takes into account the end of cheap oil, which will cause a decline in all, and the question is who will fare it best.

@riggerize No, Russia(King of the North) and China(King of the East). It's a war to set up Socialism around the world.

[x00czar00x]

The Russians only pretended to go down. Inform yourself on Leninism and it's principles. It's still the same people in power, just new uniforms. The Cold War for Socialism, between Leninism and Fabianism, remains.
