“…Duncan and Siverson (1982) focused on similar periods (less the post-Soviet period obviously) with alliance data restricted to the major powers; 6 they noted that "the bipolar alliance structures have been so stable that, outside of the initial choices made shortly after the end of World War II, there has been very little change" (p. 529). Additionally, Kadera and Sorokin (2004) note the same periods of instability we do-World War II, decolonization, and the end of the Cold War-in their analysis of variation in national power, providing further evidence to suggest that the configuration of international power changes considerably during these periods.…”

“…to the level of total population of the Russian Soviet Federative Republic in late 1950s -early 1960s. 5 The push, in our view, came at a critical time, although there are various explanations of the underlying motives of these projects. 6 The public monitor over national projects gives us a hope for the better final of these projects than previous similar initiatives.…”

The revival of the Russia's power and improvement of the country's competitiveness are declared as the main goals of the present Russian administration. The evolution of the Russian power from the early 19th until the early 21st century is presented in the first section of this article. The analysis reveals why the present-day Russia is far weaker than in the 1970s when the Soviet power was bigger than the American one. The position of Russia in the rating of the global economic competitiveness is a key issue of the second section. In the final section the Russia's goals for the future are discussed.

“…Single indicators have the advantage of simplicity. However, single variable approaches are limited to one aspect of national power and cannot express different facets of countries [1]. Thus, to measure the overall competitiveness and influences of countries, a composite indicator is required.…”

“…Comprehensive national power (CNP), the most widely used index to comprehensively measure and represent the global or regional competiveness and influence of a country, plays a central role in international relations theory [1]. Previous theories consider that the growth of states means the extension of power radius and the expansion of living (interest) space (e.g., [2,3]).…”

This paper presents a new perspective of national power-sustainable national power (SNP)-emphasizing both the traditional comprehensive national power (CNP) and social and environmental sustainability. We propose a measurement to quantify the SNP based on the measurement of comprehensive national power and a sustainable adjusted index. In addition, density-equalizing maps are adopted to visualize the sustainable national power of countries in order to gain a better understanding for its current state and future development from a cartographic perspective. China and its neighboring countries are selected as a case study area. The results show that China outperforms other countries in most of the CNP dimensions but performs poorly in various SNP-adjusted dimensions within the study area. The composite score shows that China is with the highest regional SNP, followed by Japan, Russia, South Korea and India. Furthermore, time series of cartograms reveal evidence showing power transitions among countries. In addition, the effectiveness of cartograms for cartographic communication is discussed.
