Review:The next 100 years a forecast of the 21st century By Mughiza Imtiaz
- 2. Presented By Mughiza Imtiaz MS (Pol.Sc) Government College Women University, Sialkot
- 4. George Freidman is founder and CEO of Stratford. Geopolitical events and his writings are always intuitive and often on-site crisis. He writes from an American point of view. The book consists of 254 pages but it doesn’t have any references. In his book Freidman argues that China is not at superpower level, mainly due to rises to the height of the central control constantly challenged Beijing's internal regional forces.
- 5. Friedman’s investigations sorely lacking when it comes to the possibly disruptive nature of global connectedness. Friedman argues that Countries are always worried about borders, access to commodities, and preserving national identity. They will always act to protect and preserve all three. He makes compelling cases for this by pointing to many centuries of history, from the Ottoman Empire to Germany in the 1900s.In our super-connected world; states cannot ignore the geopolitical events.
- 6. For Christ's followers engaged in international trading activities, knowledge of the dynamics of the game is very important to good decision making. It was stimulating to hear debates on world events over a longer timetable than the 24-hour news cycle that dominates most of our knowledge of the world. Friedman claims that around the year 2050, a WWIII will take place including China blocks (2020), The US, Turkey, Poland and the war between Japan - new great powers (2050), the management of local energy (2080) and The US disputes with Mexico (2100).
- 7. One of the key factors of the war, according to Friedman, and will be monitoring space weapons. It offers the greatest spy satellites and complex developed by the US. Of course, while our competitors Friedman command network and described a strange arms race in Satellite result of working with huge space stations as a hub for US control, to disable these assets will. Similarly, Air Traffic Control Tower and combinations orbit spy satellites. They are almost impervious to attack the enemy so that "the stars" will be armed and shielded. He explained that battle stars control a fleet of small satellites for long periods can remain targets of interest. If it sounds like science fiction, the Japanese finally wait until you hear how his explanation that will take in a Stars Wars-style attack on Pearl Harbor of the 21st century.
- 8. Friedman moon, rocket-propelled the Japanese base hidden by a contrast which uses lunar rocks, so they look like ordinary to the extraordinary orbit asteroids. Then the stars in the distance, the trigger rockets in the last minute, behind the US to destroy the stars and the beginning of the war. It is possible that space is viable on its own merits solar energy, but with military pioneer, it would be an effective way to deal with extensive first version of the initial costs. I think that space has become an important source of energy, solar energy, it will have a great impact on the world. It will be a source of nearly unlimited energy, and as Friedman says, will change the balance of power in the energy economy.
- 9. Friedman predicts that the US will remain the dominant global superpower throughout the 21st century, and that the history of the 21st century will consist mainly of attempts by other world powers to challenge the US dominance. Although mainly about the geopolitics and wars of the century, the book also makes some economic, social, and technological predictions for the 21st century. Russia will be elegant contemporary foes like China, and now, too, it will be swapped by new opponents Japan, Turkey and Mexico.
- 10. Friedman concedes, but feels that the general orientation of the possibilities of the 21st century it will get facts improper. India, South America and Africa at all, is only sporadically cited in the book, is a very constricted effort on the bond concerning the US and key exchanges. Friedman anticipated in the 2050s war with adherents from different parts of the current EU countries. The war will probably be started by a corresponding Turkish-Japanese sneak attack against the US and its allies. In the book, Friedman predicts that the attack will take place at a time in which the US will be taken absolutely off guard, and assumes 5:00 p.m. on November 24, 2050 (Thanksgiving Day) as a possible time.
- 11. I endorse this book for the current evaluation of the historical background of the main players in the world. This is fascinating read for all those growing economic power of China has surprised if a real global power. Despite some predictions rarity of the space-based assets, is a very interesting read most of the next 100 years. Many themes and statements are repeated throughout the book. The main reason of my Critique is that the author didn't mention Pakistan anywhere because Pakistan is the only Islamic country in world who has Nuclear arsenals as well as it will lead from the front in Asia in future due to Pak- China Economic Corridor and this project have a great impact on all over the world so I suggest that author should mention Pakistan in his Future prediction.
