Chapter Summary

A study of the political environment of eight of the most powerful and most developed nations in the world, gives us an idea as to the direction in which the rest of the world is heading. These nations indirectly control the policymaking and exert considerable influence over the rest of the world. For example, no- country could stop the United States and the United Kingdom from waging a war against Iraq, although no country agreed with them! That is the extent of power that these countries wield.

It is also important to understand the political leaders and political pressure groups within each of these countries. These are the people who control their country's progress and direction. One must keep in mind that it is the political structure of a country that defines the development of the country's economic, social and cultural framework.
