Parag Khanna 1: Mapping the future of countries

Parag Khanna at TEDGlobal 2009
Mapping the future of countries (transcript)
Summary
This TED talk was spoken about nine years ago. I think that the story is very interesting and I expect that his next story can show today’s world tends.
If he would be a teacher who teaches world history or social science in school, his class would be interesting and students must study very hard. We Japanese people used the time to remember only what was the name of the country and where the country was without thinking why and how the country was in the class.

Then the most important things we have to know is the inertia of the existing borders that we have today is far worse and far more violent.
I'm surprised by it because I think that the borders should be protected.

My opinion is that the world wouldn't want a borderless one. Each country would just want to make a fortune and the world’s military industries just deserve it. Infrastructures would be created to carry fuels, water, and foods during wars.
From now, the big population is...
For Japan, the Chinese population that is over 10 billion is just threat because all countries have to be heavily dependent on all things to CHINA where a lot of foods and oil are needed.
This will be the current war that doesn't use fire in Asia.

About another area, the speaker tells us that now, oil can be used for their own purposes, but I think that it means only a few people not its own country.
I think that the idea that infrastructure makes Palestinian and Israel peaceful doesn't have a strong power.
It's because refugees continue increasing.
My conclusion is that people only do a temporary strategy and it’ll be difficult to see the world's peace on this map today and also future.
