George Friedman, has become a leading expert in geopolitical forecasting, sought-after for his thoughtful assessments of current trends and near-future events. In The Next 100 Years, Friedman turns his eye on the future. Drawing on a profound understanding of history and geopolitical patterns dating back to the Roman Empire, he shows that we are now, for the first time in half a millennium, experiencing the dawn of a new historical cycle: The U.S.-Jihadist war will conclude--replaced by a second confrontation with Russia. China will undergo a major extended internal crisis, and Mexico will emerge as an important world power. There will be at least one global war occurring toward the middle of the century, but armies will be much smaller and wars less deadly. Technology will focus on space--both space travel and energy resources.
It might sound fantastic but all these things can happen. In The Next 100 Years George Friedman - author of the huge bestseller America's Secret War - offers a lucid, highly readable forecast of the changes we can expect around the world during the 21st century. He predicts where and why future wars will erupt, and how they will be fought; which nations will gain and lose economic and political power; and how new technologies and cultural trends will alter the way we live in the new century.
