conclusions:

Parag Khana 30-year-old, has visited more than 100 countries within 2 years, hoping to see firsthand the flash points of geopolitics and globalization.From his observations emerged a book, the recently published The Second World: Empires and Influence in the New Global Order (Random House, 2008), a thought-provoking look at the future of global competition. Khanna posits that the struggle for global economic and diplomatic influence over the coming decades will pit three empires — the United States, the European Union, and China — against one another on a battleground that he calls the “SecondWorld.”

The U.S. now must face a world in which its power is declining, in which it is just one of several competing brands. You can see that in how often America must go
it alone, militarily or economically, whether it wants to or not. In that sense, the world is really becoming not anti-American but simply non-American.

So,,, Parag Khana believes that the answer for the US issues was right in front (or in a map was below) the US it self. The latins.

The Question is:
"Will Indonesia in the future become one of the competitors developed countries?"

my answer was NO, hell NO,,, definetly not in this 20 years.
why,,, just look for ur self of what happens in this country? everywhere we look was only corruptions,corruptions and corruptions. just admit it,, this is the country that always talk,but no actions.

we have a country that it's government was very selfish,,, on behalf of the people but also people with the power dropped.
Leader,,?? if a thing is expressed successfully, the leaders will say his name and go up forward. but if it fails, the leader pointed to his subordinates and did not want to know about it.
Essentially, the state Indonesia is a country that too "proud and drown" with the history of it's country, and not able to see the future.
if we as an indonesian people want to be able to compete with other country,,than WE MUST CHANGE...!!!
