The World Ahead

I recently picked up the Nov/Dec issue of Foreign Affairs focused on major trends that could change the world and the global role of the U.S. in the future. Topics in the issue include resurgent religions, transforming technologies, demographic implosions, food shortages, energy competitions, and educational rivalries. I am particularly interested in what the authors have to say about the potential/perceived decline of American power over the coming years. I haven't dove in to the issue yet, but when I get through, I'll post my comments on my favorite essays.
