Transformation of powers and systems in the new world has been evidenced since the 21 st century and many dimensions have been advanced to explain the change. Because of this transformation, many nation-states have emerged, some of which stand to date but others have collapsed out of the same pressures. However, preceding the emergence of nation-states, transformation of nation powers and systems led to the collapse of empires like the Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire and the likes (Shackman, 2010, p. 1). The two major world wars are also characteristic of the change in power systems among wealthy nations and so far, they have been able to transform international relations through the creation of new ideologies and the inducement of change in world power. Transformation of power and systems in world politics partially incorporates elements like growth in democracy (which has been evidenced the world over since the 20 th century); armed conflicts and issues to do with terrorism. However, these transformations incorporate a number of many other driving factors which will be further analyzed in this study. Introduction Since the creation of mankind and the development of government, the world has constantly been experiencing change. Every decade bears with it a different change in world political systems and countries continuously grow as a result of this unstoppable force. Basically, a change in political systems refers to a change in the institutional functions of a given country and partially, a change in its constitutional makeup (Andrain, 1994, p. 90). With a change of these systems, a number of social, economic and political transformations are experienced, especially touching on aspects to do with education, health, welfare, industry, or even a country’s foreign policy with another nation (Coleman, 1975, p. 86). These changes are usually propelled by a number of variable elements in international politics. Such elements include globalization, leadership change, evolution and revolution of the economy among many other factors (Andrain, 1994, p. 90). These forces (and many others) have worked over centuries to transform political systems each day. However, one of the biggest driving forces in world political systems today is the transformation of the composition of the social economy. This affects the way most countries deal with the change in political systems across the spectrum but political systems are also affected by income disparities within the general populace; economic dependence and the poverty index of a nation (Andrain, 1994, p. 90). This study analyzes the components affecting the transformation of power and systems of the world’s political systems, with a special reference to the factors driving the change and its potential impact on the country in question. Reference will also be made to existing political theories explaining the change, as well as how a change in political and power systems in world politics transforms existing world economies. Economic Development Economic development has been one of the leading drivers of change in the world’s political systems because it determines the distribution of power in world politics (Allied Publishers, 2010, p. 41). Some of the most influential nations in the world today trace their superiority from their robust eco
