The “Powers of Pardes” is an annual report compiled by World Council regarding the statuses of key Pardesi states, ranking them either as 'Major Powers,' 'Middle Powers,' or 'Regional Powers'. The report has been published annually since 1975; in 2013, the report was the only in its kind to show significant changes in the ranking of states within Pardes. The report has been criticized for its narrow criteria and limited scope in areas of investigation, however it is accepted by governments and think tanks alike, despite high levels of debate and criticism upon each annual report. The report is also vocal in its defense of claiming Pardes as a multi-polar world, the report has also been applauded yet criticized for its continued resistance towards recognizing the position of ‘Superpower’, although a certified academically produced position within international relations, the report since its first publication has rejected the notion of Pardesi superpowers, stating no nation in Pardes operates the hegemonic necessities for such a status.
