Global realignment is questioning the hegemonic tendencies of some powers. In the process, clear distinction has emerged that separates countries that are moving forward from those that are sliding backward.

Those moving forward are developing and creating wealth and self-confidence and are largely self-reliant. Those sliding backwards become poorer than before, routinely create poverty instead of generating wealth and are excessively dependent and under-developed.
