Part 1.
With every new generation, the balance of power influence and military strength shifts and
evolves. Today, countries that once clearly held the titles of most powerful, are slowly seeing
their influence wane and other countries are rising to take their place.
So we wanted to know what are the most powerful countries in the world today and what makes
a country powerful. In the 21st century, a country’s power is essentially derived from its ability
to wield influence or control over other countries. This can be generally defined in three basic
ways:
▪
social significance
▪
economic dominance
▪
military might
Although social issues might seem less relevant than economy or military, the reality is that
things like happiness and health tend to have a direct political influence on other countries
serving as models of what works and what doesn’t. Higher quality of life is often associated with
higher per capita GDP. Overall satisfaction and better health, which are some of the most
important goals for any government.
As of 2017, the top ranking country in the Social Progress Index was Denmark, jumping two
spots to overtake Canada and Finland.
7
3. Denmark
From 2016, the list compiled by a US-based nonprofit think-tank places Denmark first, in part
due to the available and affordable housing, free healthcare, and other social necessities that
allow Danish citizens to pursue careers and lifestyles that aren’t limited by an inability to afford
basic needs.
Another major reason is the ability to access information. 96% of Denmark uses the Internet. The
country is also number one on the list for personal rights with a greater emphasis on freedom of
expression, freedom of assembly, and private property rights. All of these combined lead to
Denmark having a top 10 GDP per capita and many other countries seek to emulate Denmark in
social welfare and freedom as a standard for improving their own societies, making social
progress a strong measurement of global power.
But while GDP per capita is useful in measuring social value global economic power is more
dependent on trade than personal wealth, countries that make it easy to trade and see large
volumes of trade in both directions are able to yield the most power when it comes to making
economic decisions that affect other countries.
2. China
China is by far the largest exporter in the world according to the World Trade Organization.
Since 2004, China has overtaken Japan, the United States, and Germany as the most significant
source of global exports – which has ballooned the Chinese GDP from about 2 trillion dollars
ranking sixth worldwide to 11 trillion today. This ranks it second in worldwide GDP and first in
purchasing power.
China’s meteoric rise means that they have the power to make global decisions on the trade
balance, giving them significant control over the world economy and making them one of the
most powerful countries in the world.
Still, while society and economy have historically been important indicators of influence, the
biggest sign of world power is undoubtedly military strengthening. In the last century,
particularly since World War Two, individual countries have grouped together to form massive
defense alliances. Today there are only a few countries left that are singularly militarily
dominant and the most powerful country in this regard is the United States of America.
1. USA
8
As of 2016, USA spends roughly 600 billion dollars on defense annually, comprising one-third
of the entire world’s defense spending.
The USA also has direct bilateral military relationships with 54 countries and more than 800
bases in over 70 countries, with an armed force of more than two million personnel.
But as of 2017 USA has global military spending is slightly changing. In recent months the
USA’s leadership has spoken out against a number of valuable military partnerships that make
up its most powerful allies, including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Although by the
numbers the USA reigns supreme and can defend itself militarily, the increasingly isolationist
position of the US government has served to decrease its global military power. Now a number
of the USA allies have ramped up their own defenses, assuming that the USA might not be as
reliable as they have historically been.
While these countries ranked among the most powerful in each of their own ways, we might be
seeing major changes as the 21st century progresses.
Part 4
Today is International Women's Day. And some women in the United States are marking it by
joining a protest called A Day Without A Woman. It is a strike aimed to highlight the economic
power of women as well as ongoing problems like discrimination and pay disparity. As NPR's
Eric Westervelt reports, organizers are hoping to build on the success of the Women's March.
ERIC WESTERVELT, BYLINE: That mass protest January 21, President Donald Trump's first
full day in office, saw more than a million demonstrators converge on Washington. A few
million more held rallies in cities across the nation. But today's protests will be more diffuse and
smaller scale. There's no specific policy goal per se. The effort is to underscore broad goals of
equity, justice and human rights for women. Women are encouraged to take the day off from
paid and unpaid labor and not to shop except at women and minority-owned and small
businesses.
The National Domestic Workers Alliance has endorsed the strike. Ai-jen Poo directs the group
which advocates for housekeepers as well as elder care and child care workers. She says it's a
vital labor pool that's too often grossly underpaid and undervalued.

AI-JEN POO: And so this is an opportunity for women like the low-wage workers that I work
with to join together with women everywhere to say women power this economy, to have that be
visible and recognized and to think together about how we might shape the future with that
power.
WESTERVELT: A day without a woman gained momentum in reaction to President Trump's
policies and comments on women, especially immigrants and Muslims. But planning for the
strike predates the Trump administration. Inspiration for organizers came from International
Women's Day actions overseas and the recent Day Without Immigrants protest. Activist and
writer L.A. Kauffman.
L A KAUFFMAN: It's a model of how to use the tool of mass noncompliance in an era when
labor movements have been declining for a long time.
WESTERVELT: One unionized group of workers that might buck the trend today is the 76
percent of public school teachers in the U.S. who are women. Faced with large numbers of
staffers planning to take the day off for the strike, the school systems in Alexandria, Va., and
Chapel Hill, N.C., told students to stay home today. Some conservatives on social media are
calling the strike vague, self-serving and say it favors wealthy women. Organizers are calling on
all those who can't afford to take time off today to wear red in solidarity.
Eric Westervelt, NPR News.
[POST-BROADCAST CORRECTION: In the audio of this story, we say there were more than 1
million demonstrators in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 21. In fact, city officials and researchers
have said the crowd size was less than that – perhaps 500,000 to 750,000.]
