Who is the next Superpower after USA?(Discussion)
Thıs is the questıon we should ask ourselves today. Probably, it does not make sense to most of you. Because, US is the sole superpower today without any doubt and has the dominat military power aganist the other countries as a whole. But, that was also true for the Alexander The Great, Romans, Ottomans, and English Empire whıch they all collapse when their tıme came.
The question of When also could be asked but I like to concentrate on Who will be. Before start to name candidates, we should define the requirements of being superpower in todays world. First requirement is being a democratic and secular government. Secondly, advanced military power that enable to use technological advancement. Rich natural resources and arable lands are the another must for being a superpower.
Under these requirements, we can start to name our candıdates against to Unıted States. Most popular and well known canditate is China. Secondly, even after referandum in France and Holland, is Europe wıth their background. Also, Indıa is the emerging power of Asia lately gets lots of attention. Suprisingly, many people still sees a Rusia for next superpower which is also likely. I have another candidate that most of the people laughs at me and that is Turkey. I will explaın later why Turkey is another possıble candidate.
Today, I am goıng to stop here. I try to define requirements and possible candidates. I do not want to create one huge entry for this issue. This is the tip of the iceberg. Every little thing needs lot of research and information whıch I do not have but I like share my opinions wıth other people. I will write later separate posts for each requirements and candidates later. Please feel free to submıt your ideas, it will be necesaary and will be appreciated.

Europe is now the Number 1 World Superpower [March 2008].
This is due to the collapse of the US dollar.
In all honesty there is more parity now, and 5 Superpowers [Europe, USA, China, Russia and India]
China within this next generation will become the Number 1 World Superpower.
USA population = 300 million. Chinese population = 1,300 million.
But it's far to say that the USA is no longer the Number 1 Superpower. She will soon be in 3rd place.
