A New World Order is arising. Areas may no longer be designated by geography, but by factors such as race, ethnicity, and religion. For centuries, diplomacy was what determined national borders. However countries have now found other ways to categorize and specify what groups they belong with. Countries are now united by common alliances, not geography.
Joel Kotkin, a Distinguished Presidential Fellow at Chapman University of Orange County, Clifornia, has researched and placed some of the more prominent countries into nineteen categories. By Kotkin's classifications, it is not necessary for countries to be on the same continent, but are united by common characteristics. By these determinations, it will be interesting to see how these kinds of arrangements will impact the world of international relations in years to come.
