Nature has an interesting article on the issues surrounding the politics, funding, and physics in building the next giant particle collider beyond the LHC.
The Japanese are the front-runner to host the ILC, but the Chinese have their own plans on a circular electron-positron collider that can be upgraded to a future proton-proton collider.
And of course, all of these will require quite a bit of chump change to fund, and will be an international collaboration.
The climate in the US continues to be very sour in building anything like this.
