	Superpower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A superpower is a state with the first rank in the international system and the ability to influence events and project power on a worldwide scale; it is considered a higher level of power than a major power.
		China and India appear to have the greatest potential amongst all the other nations of achieving superpower or near-superpower status within the 21st century and are often termed as emerging superpowers.
		However, others doubt the existence of superpowers altogether, stating that today's complex global marketplace and the rising interdependency between the world's nations has made the concept of a superpower an idea of the past and that the world is now multipolar.

		A superpower is a state with the ability to influence events and project power on a super scale.
		The term "superpower" was first used in this context in 1930, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, but did not pick up as a primarily descriptive term for the USA and USSR until the immediate postwar years (in the 1920s the term was used to describe electrification).
		The Soviet Union was not just a superpower rival, but also an ideological rival, representing the ideology of Communism in opposition to the capitalism of the west.

	Second Superpower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This article is about the post-2003 use of the phrase, "Second Superpower." Prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union, this term and the related term Second World were sometimes used to describe that nation and its satellites.
		The Second Superpower is a term used to conceptualize a global civil society as a world force comparable to or counterbalancing the United States of America.
		The new superpower possesses immense power, but it is a different kind of power: not the will of one man wielding the 21,000-pound MOAB but the hearts and wills of the majority of the world's people.

	The Second Superpower
		Deliberation in the first superpower is relatively formal—dictated by the US constitution and by years of legislation, adjudicating, and precedent.
		Deliberation in the second superpower is evolving rapidly in both cultural and technological terms.
		The second superpower can put pressure on politicians around the world to stiffen their resolve to confront the US government in any ways possible.

	AskMe: Will America lose its superpower status? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In terms of "losing" superpower status in absolute terms, I also think that is possible if we are short-sighted in our defense spending.
		The conjunction of these factors is not what was behind the superpowers of the past.
		This willingness is not likely to change in the foreseeable future because in fact it is necessary for maintaining the level of consumption that the voters enjoy.

	Computer strategy games: Superpower
		“Superpower” is a computer program —a video game that simulates the world economy, politics, demography, diplomacy and military in 1997 based on CIA and U.$.
		We are not a great fan of the gradation of government systems seen in “Superpower,” with “democracy” the pinnacle and something called “totalitarian democracy” encompassing Iran, China and many others.
		In “Superpower” each country can be described as being in one of two camps based on its attitude toward the player’s country.

	TomDispatch - Tomgram: Robert Jay Lifton on superpower syndrome
		The American superpower status derives from our emergence from World War II as uniquely powerful in every respect, still more so as the only superpower from the end of the cold war in the early 1990s.
		Superpower syndrome did not require 9/11, but the attacks on the twin towers and the Pentagon rendered us an aggrieved superpower, a giant violated and made vulnerable, which no superpower can permit.
		A superpower's victimization brings on both a sense of humiliation and an angry determination to restore, or even extend, the boundaries of a superpower-dominated world.

	'Superpower behind' Burma blasts
		YANGON, -- Myanmar on Sunday charged a superpower nation with being behind the May 7 deadly bombing incident in Yangon by using well-trained bombers of anti-government armed groups trained out in a neighboring country under the name of an international organization engaged in refugee relief work.
		Members of the anti-government armed groups have received blasting explosives trainings in the border areas given by a world famous organization of a superpower nation, he said.
		It is generally understood that the superpower which he impliedis the United States.

		In modern terms, this may imply an entity with a huge economy, a large population, and strong armed forces, including air and space power and a considerable arsenal of weapons of mass destruction.
		Nations such as ancient Egypt, the Aztec Empire, the Persian Empire, and the short lived Greek/Macedonian empire under Alexander the Great could in one sense be considered early superpowers, at least for a time when an understanding of what is meant by "the world" was much smaller than it is today.
		China is normally considered to be the most likely candidate thanks to the world's largest population and one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

		It was a term applied to the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War.

	The Blog \| Jane Smiley: Superpower? \| The Huffington Post
		But as a result of their efforts and those of their incompetent pawns, America's former superpowers are gone and the big corporations are going to have to spend a lot more time and effort corrupting a plethora of smaller and less globally influential governments.
		While the Bush administration and their supporters continue to labor under the illusion that the US is a superpower, other Americans might be content to ponder how to make their country a decent place to live, which right now it is not.
		Every superpower, civilization, and empire that crumbled did so due to corruption and greed within the goverment, no matter what type of government was in place.

	Democracy Now! \| Superpower Syndrome: America's Apocalyptic Confrontation With The World
		Because one is militarily dominant one has the right to be a dominant superpower, and with that of course goes the unilateralism, the absence of mutuality, and the sense of really seeking to control history.
		Superpower syndrome, then, is the kind of overall rubric or way of understanding a lot of separate American policies, all of which shocked us, but putting them together as a consistent point of view, and stance in the world.
		And what had been superpower attitudes, sporadically expressed, became a systematic form of behavior in the world so that, yes, some of the superpower syndrome surely existed pre-George W. Bush, but not as dangerously or consistently or as aggressively.

	[No title]
		The power sphere of the second superpower is in a different dimension from nations, and as such, the second superpower can and does work to influence the behavior and balance the power of nations.
		And it should be alright for individuals living in one nation to try to influence the politics of another nation, as long as those individuals are operating in their capacity as members of the second superpower.
		Second superpower people need not be conventionally liberal or conservative, because there is political and social innovation yet to be done, and current political categories are certainly outmoded.

	PC SuperPower 2 Preview - ( Review, Preview, Article, Interview, Q&A, Buy, Game ) - GamersHell.com
		SuperPower took us into a part of everyday happenings unseen by most regular Joes and allowed us to run a real world country and effectively blow everyone up (if you were strong enough).
		What SuperPower didn’t have though was a great interface and stellar globe of the world (SuperPower had a 2D flat map of the world, Superpower2 has a 3D globe) however it did give you a great fix of “blow somethin’ up” though it wasn’t nearly as pretty.
		This isn’t a game for the Warcraft 3 crowd, there is more “sit and think” and less reflexes in SuperPower 2, but when the heat is on and you are at war with every other country on earth because you “liberated” half of the 3rd world countries on earth every second counts.

		SuperPower is a real-time strategy game that has a great concept.
		On top of that, Superpower is infested with bugs, and the downloadable patch is not able to fix them completely.
		Although the patches failed to fix some major flaws of the game (please, how can a country like the Sudan amass a million troops and send them half way around the world?)they atleast allowed the game to be what it was intended to be.

	CNN.com - Dobbs: It's good to be a superpower - Aug 17, 2006
		Because we're a superpower, we needn't concern ourselves with silly little annoyances like trade and budget deficits.
		What greater proof of our superpower status can there be than 30 consecutive years of trade deficits, evaporating surpluses in services and agricultural goods and even technology.
		Though admittedly, it is a little embarrassing to watch how easily the United States imposes its will on the Middle East and brings aspiring superpowers like China to heel on issues like human rights and democracy.

	SuperPower 2 (pc: 2004): Reviews
		SuperPower 2 further improves on the original with new 3D graphics, improved missions and a wickedly intelligent A.I. The game features 193 real countries, each equipped with realistic data drawn from the U.S. Military's databases.
		Creating a superpower from Haiti isn’t an easy task but it sure was a fun run, I recommend SuperPower2 to people that like world simulations or to people that wish they could run any country on earth in anyway they see fit.
		I found myself to be bewildered by the erratic actions of the artifical intelligence as opposed to being genuinely upset.
