Parag Khanna on why South America will be the next superpower

Parag Khanna discusses the potential of South America to become a superpower, challenging the traditional view of global power dynamics dominated by the US, EU, and China. He highlights South America's economic growth, resource wealth, and Brazil's leadership as key factors. The region's geopolitical stability and strategic partnerships, particularly with the US, position it as a rising power. Khanna contrasts this with Asia's geopolitical tensions and resource dependencies, suggesting South America's ascent is supported by both internal developments and external alliances.
