The old scientific powers are starting to lose their grip
The Economist, November 11, 2010
Foreign Affairs, October 25, 2010
- This issue appraises the major trends that will rapidly change the world and will likely affect the global role of the United States over the next decade. Essays present startling conclusions on the impact of resurgent religions, transforming technologies, demographic implosions, food shortages, energy competitions, and educational rivalries. Power, much of it economic, will be dispersed among rising states, with non-state actors playing a large role. A less-powerful but still potent United States will need partners more than ever to protect its security and prosperity. This expanded issue also includes suggestions for readings on the world ahead recommended by an all-star collection of specially invited experts.
