superpower

 
     
  The current term for what, until the end of the Second World War, used to be called a great power, i.e. a power of the first rank in terms of reputation for military strength. Since the end of the Cold War, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States has generally been seen as the sole superpower. See also major power; middle power; permanent members; Security Council.
