A talk by Parag Khanna, Director of the Global Governance Initiative of the American Strategy Program at the New America Foundation.

In The Second World: Empires and Influence in the New Global Order, Parag Khanna examines the intersection of geopolitics and globalization to argue that America's dominant moment has been suddenly replaced by a geopolitical marketplace wherein the European Union and China compete with the United States to shape world order on their own terms. Mr. Khanna has worked previously at the World Economic Forum in Geneva, Switzerland, where he specialized in scenario and risk planning, and at the Council on Foreign Relations, where he conducted research on terrorism and conflict resolution.

@CostlyChris In this globalize world the gap between poor and rich is growing and thats because people tend to lack the basic understanding of markets. America is definitely moving backward and where not producing a generation that will be competitive and thats because of the wealth and lifestyle we enjoy. By the time the average American citizen get it we won't be a strong super power anymore.

Keep watch on the Philippines they will be the next Turkey in regards to a lesser state becoming more dominate on the international field it would be wise to invest there now. The Korean wave is another example of Globalization empowering states that was overlooked in the past. Many African nations are stabilizing as well despite what you may of heard. The World is changing and those who cling to this "old order" are hurting their profits potential and becoming willfully ignorant.
