Global Treads 2030: A Look Into the Future By the National Intelligence Council.

By the year 2030, for the first time in history, a majority of the world's population will be out of poverty. Middle classes will be the most important social and economic sector. Asia will enjoy the global power status it last had in the Middle Ages, while the 350-year rise of the West will be largely reversed. Global leadership may be shared, and the world is likely to be democratizing.

This par of the report article struck me.

Under the "megatrends" category, the Global Trend authors predict that "power will shift to networks and coalitions in a multipolar world."

I know it refers to countries, however my mind veered to connected networks such as indigenous societies. To live in peace in these societies can be fine, fine until someone comes along with a power play scenario and rampant corruption, which is happening everywhere now . Isn't the report a liitle utopian to think we can move without serious damage from a bipolar world to multipolar?
