Synopsis

Great nations today are revitalizing themselves; among them are China, India, Russia, and possibly the Islamic world. Their national aspirations suggest that the world will be shaped very differently in the future - in fact, many national borders will likely change beyond recognition. The importance of the coming global transformation cannot be underestimated. At the same time, America has failed to achieve critical milestones that are key to its future survival: to prevent nuclear proliferation, to win the war on terror, and to resolve the world financial crisis. Its political system has become weak and ineffective, though no one acknowledges the fact. Rising Nations provides a vision of things to come, including several transformational world maps and a realistic commentary about future implications for America.
