Global Power Barometer
It's difficult to track the changing tide of global power, but the Washington Post has offered this rather intriguing resource for doing just that. Essentially, the Global Power Barometer (GPB) provides "a relative measure how well various nations, ideologies and political movements are exercising their power to move global opinion and events in the direction they desire." Part of this analytic process is provided by the Denver Research Group (DRGI), and the GPB gauges both "opinion and hard fact." On the GPB page, visitors can look at the "Today's Drivers" section to learn which nations or groups are influencing the GPB and also learn more about critical issues in the news. On the right side of the page, visitors can look at a visual representation of the GPB. Moving down the page, visitors can also chime in with their own comments and read the views of expert panelists on recent events affecting the GPB. Finally, visitors can also learn more about the methodology used to create the GPB. From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout 1994-2008. http://scout.wisc.edu
