The world of the next century will be different in profound respects from any that we have ever known before―deeply interdependent economically, closely linked technologically and progressively more homogenized through the movement of information, ideas, people and capital around the world at unprecedented speed. At the same time, it will be more multicentric in the devolution of economic, political and military power to smaller adaptable units.

The paper explores how these tendencies might be reconciled, but the answers are far from clear.
