Just looking for some opinions on the future state of the world, when world policy doesn't solely revolve around the United States. Lets assume that the US looses it global dominance in the next 50-100 years. I will make the assumption that the new global players are China, Russia, India, USA and European Union. How will this effect the general level of safety? Will the standard of living increase on a global scale? What will be the future of space exploration and medical research (will increase, and were will it focus)? What will be the majour changes? What will be the state of global co-operation be?

I know this is extremely broad topic and would be difficult to even begin to encapsulate in 50+ books. But if you have an ideas on any different questions or any theory's in general i'd like to hear/discuss them.
