Global Power Shifts

Global Trends

Global Power Shifts

Global Power Shifts remain an important trend, though falling from 3rd to 5th place since last year. Respondents noted the economic and political rise of developing countries like India, Brazil, Russia, and, particularly, China.  This, combined with the lack of regulation in Europe, is taken to suggest a continued shift in relative wealth power from the west to the east.
