Who do you think is going to be the world power in about 10 years?

Question

Right now America is the world power but I dont think thats going to last much longer. America is so dependant on other country's they won't be able to stay the world power. The two country's that are most likly going to be the new world power are either Cina or Canada. But Canada might fall right after the olympics but theres no way of knowing. So who do you think is going to be the new world power?

Answer 1

Not one country. Read Paul kennedy's 'Rise and fall of Empires' that was published in the last century. Of course, America will be in the ring. So also, China, EU and Japan. And maybe Germany and India.

PPP (Purcahasing Power Parity) will come to the fore, pushing Exchange rate of currencies to the back, with telling effect on Japan and Germany. Labour (employable and skilled) will be in short supply. Many leading countries will have aged population proportionately more compared to the younger (20s) generation. Manufacture will move to where population is, and that too in cheaper living standards. Jobs will freely travel like electrons in metals and not the workers.

And capital will follow.

Answer 2

with a worldwide famine coming on, economic collapse here and abroad, i'm afraid china's going to be it, and the u.s. won't even exist.

Answer 3

Canada isn't looking to be a superpower ... People forget Russia still has all its nuclear weapons , and a lot of influence in the world ... China will probably come up next ... then we will have 3 superpowers for awhile ... Russia , U.S.A. and China. Of course you never know when empires will rise or fall and what may precipitate it.

Answer 4

San Marino...the only one left

Answer 5

IN 10 Years: all government powers extinct.  Human race either extinct or in Outer Space.  Earth cinders.  No way out.  End transmission.

Answer 6

Economic: E.U. - healthy, steady growing... (for a long time)

Military: China.

Answer 7

Due to their large populations, growing military strength, and economic potential and influence in international affairs, the European Union, China, India, Brazil and Russia are among the powers as having the ability to reach the status of superpower in the 21st century.

The EU is the most likely to be the next superpower, closely followed by China.

Sorry, Canada is about as likely  as Mexico of becoming a superpower.

Answer 8

Switzerland, I believe

Answer 9

China, their economy is growing at an incredible rate at the moment.

Answer 10

as far as your vague and mostly false description goes...**** if I know.. but to your actual question in 10 years the world power will be either the UN or some sort of merger between the EU and the upcoming NAU, and by then there will be other unions.. china, russia..a one world government.. friend..

Answer 11

China for sure, unless some unexpected situation results, but at the rate that economy is rising-definetely China!!!!
