A Secret War to Preserve the Existing Demographic Balance?
Some 98 percent of all births today are occurring in the less developed world: in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Some western intellectuals are alarmed. If this trend continues, global power structures over the next generation or two could undergo radical changes. More precisely, the political and economic power of today's industrial democracies could gradually shift away within the next 50 years.
One report commissioned by the US army argued that present population and economic trends "could create an international environment even more menacing to the security prospects of the Western alliance than was the Cold War for the past generation."
Is there then a secret war going on to preserve the existing demographic balance? Are demographic trends the reason why so little is being done by the West to fight AIDS and poverty in the less developed world?
