Re: More on Prof. Deudney here.

The guy does seem like a patriotic nutjob, but it's not his views I'm concerned with. Though his introduction did spark another question in my mind.....

My main concern here is Negarchy, and what it means as described by the Wikipedia article:

A form of status quo maintained by the inter-relations of the power structure and authority that modern states hold in relation to each other which negate each other due to their respective affluence. The situation of this kind of power compromise results in putting limits upon and reining in the rule of all such states by reducing their individual power and potential affluence. Thus it is a rule of their own creation that they are also unwillingly subject to.


For me, I disagree with that last sentence - rulers can willingly subject themselves to this balance; most just choose not to.

Still, does such a balance exist in this world in this or any other time period; and if not, could it exist now or in the future?
