iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 28, 2007 There is only one super power in the world today, and as we all know its USA. However it is growing old and I don't think it will hold that title for much longer, at the same time nigher china nor India have the potential of being a power whom other nations would follow. They are more based on population than cultural and technological growth therefor will not be able to influence the world. In my opinion the EU has a chance of becoming an ideal Libral/Capitalist model which can take our civilization to the next step. There is also potential within middle east such as Iran and newly born or about to be born nations who are struggling for survival at the moment, but eventually rise to power. Iran is already spreading its influence through out Arabia and as far as India in the east, lately even Turkey as fallen under the spell of Islam. Russia in the north is also getting back in the game. However my bid stays with EU and couple of states that are not yet recognized as nation but have the air of leadership around them. China and India would have been stronger in the industrial age because that was the age of population and the rise of capitalism. However humanity is taking a step into a more libralist age where quality counts over quantity. -a guy who knows it all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thingcubed 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 Well, determining who will be the next World Super Power depends on a lot of different factors. First in my mind is what is our definition of Super Power? As it stands now we still tend to define Super Power in militaristic terms, with economics as a (relatively) important sidenote. In the future, this may change depending on how the world continues to evolve. Due to the growth of organizations such as the EU and the lessening of militaristic tensions around the world in comparison to the past (alright not exactly, but if you think about it the "War on Terror" is really not that big, if you think of it in terms of previous conflicts it helps put things in perspective), I tend to think that it is quite possible for the economic aspect of Super Powers to take precedence. If that happens we could start to see a huge shift in the world. One often ignored region of the world is South America, and I think that in the future they could play a large part in how the world develops, even if nobody takes them into account at the moment. While the USA is just starting a trend of moving towards a viewpoint with more socialist tendencies (it may not move there, and it's not universal, but there are signs), South America has a history of socialism. Many South American countries are beginning to form trade agreements amongst themselves, and while it may take time, I think that they will eventually develop a working regional economic unit. If the USA is intelligent and fosters cooperation and friendly terms with South America they can prevent themselves from being economically handicapped by their distance from the EU and Asia where developing nations such as China and India are going to start gaining greater footholds in the world economy. My view is that the world is going to eventually become more focused on regional, rather than global trade. Economically it makes sense, and economics tend to be the deciding force for most major changes and evolutions.Of course, all of this is based on the idea that militaristic might will become increasingly less important, and that different nations and ideologies will be able to coexist with at least civil harmony. If it breaks down into pseudo-coldwar times again than I think that developing nations such as China that haven't developed strong liberal ideals-based societies will have a greater advantage in extending their power as they will not have to convince an electorate to ignore safety and environmental regulations. China has the ability to make things on the cheap, both in an monetary and environmental view. State controlled regulations and a large workforce that has a strong sense of nationalism are what allow a country to quickly gear up and fight. The US had this at one point, but we have given up some of our willingness to work in the nations interest so that we can work in the interests of the world. I don't think this is a bad thing, but it does give nations that are still going through the stages of industrialization an advantage (China, and India to a lesser degree).Oh, don't forget Japan either. If my first view correct, than Japan's lack of a large military will become insignificant. If they can find a way to deal with the rising age of their population, Japan has some of the most advanced technology in the world. Their work with robotics is amazing, and if the world becomes a more stable economically based environment, advanced technologies are going to be some of the major signs pointing to the world's "Super Powers."

iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 There is no need to talk about it. If they are super power, we have to ask ourself some questions. Reason? We are fighting Iraq that has no impact basically on anything. Now we are trapped there and losing tons of taxpayer's money. Do you expect that type of government is healthy for economy? Also just wanna comment on our education. I think we are pumping violence sex into teens too much. That won't help either.-reply by Jack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've outsourced such cheap work to up but we have to buy in bulk...And its horrible quality **** that costs pennies to make yet we pay a fortune...So outsourced jobs made less work here creating a complete crash of our economy and conveniently or war in iraq is creating a bigger debt...Thank mr bush(s)...By the way were in debt to china. They've just invaded Tibet and are due to host the upcoming Olympics. Perfect time to show off the results of their very strict military training from a young age...Sound familiar-hitler olympics...Its not so long ago that the last emperor was removed militarily...China is still a waring nation and a force to be reckoned with .

iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Superpower wont exist The Next World Super Power? If the world is still here in 20 years the US will still have the title. The only reason China is coming up is because of the US and other countries sell out their people to get sh&% made in a 3rd world country. China is still 20 years behind becoming anything and they are too bothered by taking over Tibet and Taiwan they forget about their goal and piss other nations off. The truth is before there is another superpower nukes will start flying because of mans stupidity for power. This land is my land but I want your land too. I am just hoping that NASA finds us a back-up place to live soon. P.S. The worst US president of all time is Bush. Thank God he got elected again and maxed out his term. Goodbye to Bush forever.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted May 7, 2008 China and India must tread more lightly than they have so far. The Next World Super Power? It seems that China and/or India are far too volatile and unbecoming to become the next superpower/s it would seem more appropriate if the next nation or continent to hold the world superpower title be the european union it seems, unlike China or India to have a remarkable high standard of law and justice, also it has not been influenced by outside sources nearly as much as the two asiatic contenders it seems to be more reasonable, organised and far-sighted view as a wonderful website once said the you.S.A is a caravan yet Europe is a citadel. "A citadel is a solid, permanent building, a fortress designed to survive any crisis and protect those within it from all the dangers outside. It is a permanent dwelling. A caravan is constantly moving, seeking new horizons, leaving the past behind." It would seem that after the two most horrific events in the twentieth century that europe that formed the EU soon after the war would after so long be ready to take on the world and restore sensibility to the masses. China and India seem to resemble the american caravan more than the citadel China especially since it should be apparent that unless they are more careful what happened to Russia will happen to them, and it isnt exactly like the chinese were unwilling when they found that the Imperial family and Imperial justice were unruly to abolish them as soon as possible. India besides the fact that it relies heavily on europe (not so much America) would be the more likely contender if one thinks about it rationally. If one looks at the dominating empires they always have a relatively high standard of living compared to the other nations they always have a strong economic background of the preious twenty years at the least and a relatively decent justice system. China and India simply because of land size and population are not as likely to become the next as europe is. Europe will reign again as the supreme power. Preservation and remembrance of ones past mistake swill prove far more valuable than any amount of underpaid workers or drive for absolute power. The Chinese and Indians must tread far more carefully than they have so far if they wish to succeed in there goal of world dominance. -reply by lachy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is know doubt that the super power today is the USA along side the isrealies who have been *bottom* licking each other for many years. The worrld was at peace at the time when the muslims run it, startiing from the Arabian peninsula. The Muslims will rule again, and the time span is very short. Hold your thoughts about other ruling nations a look into islam. Islam is on the rise like never before. This is a promise to mankind. And promises like this have never and will neva be broken.

arnz 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Russia does seem to be a big country with a strong economy to be a superpower once again, but many seem to not forget the days of the old "Soviet Russia" where the economy was controlled through communism. Granted, there are a few countries that are communist, but this seems to be either decreasing, or freedom seems to be a bit eased in a few of those countries.As for the next super power, I'd have to say the European nations that have the one currency "the euro" could be a good case of being a 'super power'. Tis seem a shame that the UK decided not to combine their currency under the Euro like the other european nations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdemir 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2008 Iran is already spreading its influence through out Arabia and as far as India in the east, lately even Turkey as fallen under the spell of Islam.Turkey maybe can be seen as trying to set his democratic system since 1923 after the fall of Ottoman Empire. But don't forget that in 1281 Ottomans were only about 400 men. After Ottomans indepence in 1299, conquered one by one with his limited man availability, while he grows his army became countless.So Turkey the grandsons of Ottomans will take his power back when he stops the unimportant discussions in his lands.
