Centers of power
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Centers of power are localized regions of the world where political, economic and cultural influence are dominant for a time, hence defining a particular age within history. During early civilization, this was limited to civilization itself, while in the current age the terms first world, second world and third world are typically used to describe the differences between power by nationality, and region.
