Summary/Abstract: In the last part of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, demographic data has been set for a major change that will affect Europe as a whole. These changes will take place in the next 20 to 30 years and are so potent that they can modify the geopolitical landscape of the continent forever. In this circumstance it is of vital importance to understand where the demographics of Europe were, where they are and in which direction they are going. Thus, we can map out the future pols of geopolitical power and the manner in which they will influence the continent. The article uses qualitative and quantitative methods to paint the picture of the near future of Europe and tries to answer the question of how the future geopolitics of the continent will look. To better understand the situation demographic and economic data will be introduced and analysed with the intent of predicting future pols of economic power and implicitly geopolitical power.
