the original atlanticists worry about declining US clout: the much-talked-about new report 'global trends 2025'

nov 21st, 2008

this is the report from the US spy agencies that has caused a lot of hand-wringing amongst the usual suspects, who are running around like chicken littles now. san, this is the report that your various posts from the ft and the bbc and all that have referred to.

http://www.acus.org/publication/global-trends-2025-transformed-world

this is the executive summary; i have downloaded the full report but not read it yet.

do read the summary at least and comment.

this generally matches what we have been saying on this blog for some time:

1. the relative decline of the US
2. the likely conficts between india and china
3. the shock of transition from fossil fuels to alternative energy
