Our friend Patrick Frost from the Afghanistan FPA blog has done a very interesting post on Great Power Politics, ranking the world’s “Great Powers” in terms of their power, economy, resources, ideology and state strength. According to the top 10 rankings, the US comes out ahead, but China appears to be giving Washington quite a run for its money, literally. Other notable rising powers are Russia (3), India (6), Brazil (7) and Turkey (9). Visit the Great Power Politics blog and leave your comment.
