In George Friedman's new book "The Next 100 Years" he predicts that about 2020 Russia and China will be fragmenting due to demographic problems and Turkey and Japan will seek to defend their interests in these new spheres of influence.
One way Turkey will do this according to George Friedman is by tapping into the large Turkic and Muslim population of Central Asia and seeking to use the vast amounts of resources of Central Asia to rebuild itself.
He also predicts Turkey will send troops down into Kurdistan to deal with the PKK government once and for all. They may also seek to spread their influence in the Arab world highlighting Arab fear of Iran and presenting itself as a resurgent Muslim power.
I have found the works of one Pan Turkish Islamist called Harun Yahya quite interesting as he says as he says Turkey is the only modern developed country with a professional and powerful military that is stable.
George Friedman also predicts that Poland will reassert itself following Russia`s collapse and become the leader of a new East European bloc. This may lead to some future confrontation with Turkey given Poland`s large Catholic population and historical conflicts.
