Who will be the next superpower?
USA economic, military and political dominance is likely to decline over the next two decades, according to American intelligence agencies. Who will be the next world leader?
According to the National Intelligence Council (NIC) China and India will grow more powerful in the coming decades as the US weakens.
They also predict that the US dollar will no longer be the world's major currency and food and water scarcities will fuel conflict.
However, the report concedes that these outcomes are not inevitable and will depend on the actions of world leaders.
Do you think the USA is losing its influence in world affairs? Which countries will take on the title of the next 'superpower'? What can they do to regain their position of dominance in the world order? Do you agree with the NIC that this change could lead to a greater potential for conflict?
