<Want it or not the EU will encompass former communist countries. Wealth will spread into there. Want it not, no matter how many years is going to take, NAFTA is going to prod south Mexicanizing those banana republics here.
It is unstoppable. Why? Overcapacity in every industry. Q when need of a market hasd to bail out a company here and there. Any consumer counts. >
Oh, some new imperialism. That's what I like to see! I've been advocating it for years. Since the British left their Empire, apart from a few such as Singapore and Hong Kong, the natives have ruined the early developments the British left as a legacy. Where sufficient British remained, such as the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand [and Rhodesia and South Africa before the locals decided they could do it better], the countries had great success. Where the locals took over completely, such as India, Pakistan, all across Africa, there was not much economic progress and poverty is prolific. Barbarism returned to many such as Bangladesh, where millions were murdered [people moan about a few casualties from British repression of independence movements, but they never murdered millions] and Idi Amin's Uganda.
There was a lot more murder and mayhem under that great pacifist Ghandi than there was under the British Raj. Of course, those murders should be blamed on the British, who weren't even there!
So, let's get on with the job and create a new UN with a sensible constitution, with busy-bodying precluded constitutionally. It's time for some serious colonisation. Colin Powell and Condoleezza can do the Colinizing and Condominiums to get things rolling.
Afghanistan and Iraq are good places to start. The locals will be all for it. Kuwait could be included too [they've got far too much oil; the profits from which should be spread across greater Iraq]. Heck, even Saudi Arabia could be included in a greater co-prosperity sphere as a federal state [they've got altogether too many terrorists being produced in their mad Moslem Mullah enclaves].
