New Delhi, India (AHN) – A significant American report on global governance has described India as the “third most powerful nation” in the world, after the U.S. and China. The report also predicted that India will continue to strengthen by 2025.

The report compiles a list of the world’s most powerful countries and regions, titled “Global Governance 2025,” which is a follow-up to a similar 2008 report. The Global Governance report was jointly published by the National Intelligence Council (NIC) and the European Union’s Institute for Security Studies (EUISS).

In the year 2010, the report says America dominates with much as 22 percent of the world’s power, while China wields 12 percent.

India tied for third place with the European Union at 8 percent. However, since EU is a bloc of countries, India remained the third most powerful individual country in the world.

According to the international futures model, over the next decade and a half China, India and Brazil will increase their share of the global power. The U.S. will remain the powerful country by 2025, although its share in the global power is projected to fall to 18 percent.

The report was prepared using the insights provided by a group of international experts who gave their views on fictionalized scenarios that spanned the upcoming 15 years.
