It will still be America's century, for better or for worse. The illusion that is the Chinese rise to power will be exposed, the EU will be either watered down and crippled by its welfare states, and the Middle East will be globally irrelevant again, as technological advances and draining resources make oil and gas less less important (a good thing for those who loathe US intervention). India will be the economy everyone is taking about as the counterweight to the US.
