Greetings,good article.HCSS 2014 report describes Italy as a great power (it's a very important source and very recent).It's difficult today describe a perfetc great power except for the USA.Italy (and India may be even it's global position it's weaker) can be added in the flags of today great powers.Greetings again)151.40.23.226 (talk) 08:49, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I read the HCSS 2014 report, and I only saw it mentioned the USA, EU, China and Russia as great powers. Maybe I missed the part where it called Italy a great power, could you tell me what page number it is on? Thanks. Antiochus the Great (talk) 09:16, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It was post in overlaps of Middle power article.It has been removed.You are a very good english writer.Theoretically it's difficult distinguish great powers at the level described.Just Canada is out for demography and military.Germany and Japan are better than France, UK and Italy for economy and demography but not for military or cultural power.Russia lacks totally for economy and partially as cultural power.China lacks for level of life and same India that is much worse in economy (above all in net national wealth that is more important than nominal GDP). 151.40.23.226 (talk) 09:38, 14 June 2016 (UTC)151.40.23.226 (talk) 09:31, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
