Superpower- a state which has both hard (economic, military, geographical) and soft (cultural) influence to project power globally.

Globalisation -Â trade and technology have made the world into a more connected and interdependent place What is a super power? Future
superpowers Just having a big military is not enough to be a superpower – balance is needed. What is a super power?​ The term superpower was first used in 1944 by William T. R. Fox in a book he wrote about the USA, Britain and Soviet Union.Â
Noam Chomsky says that superpowers need a triangle of influence, economic, cultural and military dominance.
Hard power
Hard power is where a country expresses its influence through coercive (controlling)Â measures. This can be economic sanctions or military force or threat.
Hard power is becoming less common. Countries are beginning to use economic sanctions instead of military force. Soft power
Soft power is where a country expresses its influence through its economic, political, moral or cultural influence. It does not physically enforce anything in another country.
An example of soft power by America is its cultural exports from its global media TNCS. Globalisation seems to be making soft power more and more important. Knowledge Organiser<br>

Cold War - Tension between USA and USSR from 1945 to 1991Â
Nuclear weapons – a bomb that used nuclear energy to cause an explosion
Artillery - Large guns Historically, the number of troops or ships in the military was the best indicator of a country's ability to attack others or defend itself from threats. Superpowers may not need to use military force often, but the threat of it is also important.Â
Military power needs to be mobile (able to travel quickly and far) and far reaching.Â
Access to nuclear weapons and access to technology such as satellites and spy technology too.Â
A nuclear power fighting a non-nuclear power would be likely to win instantly if they wanted to. Countries with nuclear weapons are the USA, Britain, Russia, France, China, India, Israel, Pakistan and potentially North Korea. Threat of nuclear war Most powerful military Just because you have a big army does not mean you need to use it to show your power – the treat of it is usually enough.

GDP per capita – Gross Domestic Product (total money made by a country) divided by its population (per person).
Beneficial – something that is good
Trade – buying and selling between countries and organisations
Hegemony - A leadership or dominance. Possibly one of the most important characteristics of a superpower.
Money = able to fund construction of infrastructure + military. Superpowers need to maintain status.Â
Money can also be used to buy influence, for example foreign aid buy resources and influence trade patterns.
These economies have the world’s most powerful currencies.
When investing, people, companies or governments want to invest their money in a currency that is considered ‘safe’ with minimal risk.
The dollar is considered the most powerful currency at the moment.
Some nations have to borrow in US Dollars because investors do not trust their currencies.
America is the world's largest economy with a GDP of $20 trillion. China is second with a GDP of $14 trillion and Japan has the 3rd largest economy in the world. How do we create a better economy? Can the economy forever? Just because dollars are used to signify their wealth, that does not mean it is the currency used in that country. Using dollars helps us compare wealth in different countries. Economic Power Knowledge Organiser<br>

Mcdonaldization - the spread of American cultural and economic products throughout the world.
Social media -Â websites and apps that allow users to create and share content or to participate in social networking
Consuming media - reading or watching media Globalisation Why McDonald's failed in Iceland McDonaldization can refer to any large company with a lot of influence, not just McDonalds. Netlfix and Disney also share American values across the world. Cultural Power This is the projection of a particular way of life and values that can influence many other countries. This can include food, traditions and entertainment.Â
Watching and consuming media can change people’s values, beliefs and norms.
Brands push the culture of the country they come from this is called McDonaldization. People around the world adopt a changed lifestyle.
Social media connects people to others around the world. This means they can share ideas, trends and culture around the world quickly.Â
English is the most spoken language in the world despite not being a large country. ​It means that people can listen to the same music, news, read the same books, watch the same films and so on. This influences culture. Knowledge Organiser<br>

Relief – shape of the land
Trade – buying and selling from other countries.
Water/food security – having enough water and food for the people in your country.
Develop – how a country changes and improves over time.
Landlocked - This is when a country is not connected to the sea/ocean. Geographical power refers to how many countries/areas a place can affect.Â
This can mean a physical presence or a more cultural presence.
The physical geography of an area can affect how it develops, trades and provides for its people.
If an area is landlocked they will have fewer opportunities to trade than those with a coastline.
Extreme climates can make development difficult as countries struggle to provide water and food security.
The relief of the land can also affect a country, mountainous areas can be difficult to farm and build on, but can also act as protective barriers.
More developed countries will find it easier to have more influence on other countries. Prisoners of Geography Why all maps are wrong. Not all countries were created equally. The size, location and shape of the land can massively affect how it develops and therefore how much influence it can have over other countries. Geographical Power Knowledge Organiser<br>

Colonialism v neocolonialism - Colonialism is different from neocolonialism because colonialism involves direct control over a territory and its people while neocolonialism involves indirect methods to control a territory and its indigenous people. Neocolonialism is a relationship, where the more powerful of two countries has economic and political influence over the weaker country.Â
Neocolonialism can benefit both countries, the weaker country can develop as a result of the investment from the more powerful country.
China has been investing heavily in African countries – overtaking the USA as the biggest investor in Africa. What is it? Chinese trains in Africa Not all people in the colonised country will be unhappy about another country having power and influnce over them. Neocolonialism Knowledge Organiser<br>

The USA is very large and is the 3rd largest country in the world by area.
It is very rich in natural resources (in steel and oil).
Having a large country and large population size means that US companies have a very large domestic market. They can sell to lots of consumers and this can let these TNCs benefit from economies of scale. USA Russia controlling the Arctic Countries can lose their influence and power, becoming a superpower doesn't mean you will be one forever. Examples of superpowers Russia
Russia is the world’s largest country and controls significant resources as a result of its size.
The size of Russia may also prove important in the future with the Arctic region. As climate change makes it possible to exploit some of the previously untapped natural resources. The Arctic is mainly under Russian & Canadian control.
Russia contains 11% of the world's landmass, and has 145 million inhabitants. India
India is the second largest English-speaking nation in the world (after America) which means it has seen economic growth through the growth of its services sector.
Many global TNCs outsource their services in IT to India. BT has call centres in Bangalore. India is the world’s largest democracy and is politically stable.
Global Fire Power ranks India as the world’s 4th largest military power in terms of its weaponry.
India has nuclear weapons.
India has global cultural influence as the birthplace of 4 world religions. Knowledge Organiser Outsourcing– hiring people from another country to work for you. Natural resource - something that is found in nature and can be used by people.<br>
