The Global Power Index captures overall national capability. The Specialised Indices go deeper — measuring specific dimensions that matter for particular strategic questions, from energy security to demographic trajectory.
Each Specialised Index provides two complementary scores. Together, they reveal not just where a country stands, but where it's heading.
Absolute position — where a country stands today relative to others. High Level indicates established strength in this dimension.
Trajectory — how rapidly a country's position is changing. High Growth indicates momentum, whether from a high or low base.
Where does each country rank today?
How is each country's trajectory changing?
National power is not compartmentalised. Energy security enables industrial capacity. Technological leadership depends on human capital. Financial resilience attracts investment. The Specialised Indices measure distinct dimensions, but those dimensions influence each other — strength in one area often supports or depends on strength in others.
Each index measures a specific aspect of national capability, with Level and Growth scores for 194 countries.
