US economic and political power is set to decline over the next two decades and the world will grow more dangerous as the battle for scarce resources intensifies, a report by US intelligence agencies has predicted.
The current global financial crisis is the beginning of a weakening of the US dollar to the point where it becomes "first among equals", said the National Intelligence Council's (NIC) Global Trends 2025 report published on Thursday.
One of the main conclusions of the report is that "the unipolar world is over, [or] certainly will be by 2025", said Thomas Fingar, the NIC's deputy director, at a press conference in Washington DC.
China and India were likely to join the US at the top of a multipolar world and compete for influence, the report added.
Global Trends 2025
'Western' economic liberalism, democracy and secularism will become less appealing.
US global influence will decline as developing powers like China and India join as world leaders.
Greater access to technology will increase the possibility of nuclear conflict.
Some states in Africa and South Asia will disappear after failing to provide security for their people.
Others in Eastern or Central Europe could be taken over by organised crime.

SUPER TUESDAY (February 5, 2008)
In the United States, Super Tuesday commonly refers to the Tuesday in early February or March of a presidential election year when the greatest number of states hold primary elections to select delegates to national conventions at which each party's presidential candidates are officially nominated. More delegates can be won on Super Tuesday than on any other single day of the primary calendar, and accordingly, candidates seeking the presidency traditionally must do well on this day to secure their party's nomination. In 2008, Super Tuesday is February 5; 24 states will hold primaries or caucuses on this date, with 52 percent of all pledged Democratic Party delegates and 41 percent of the total Republican Party delegates at stake.
