Fragmentation and Weakening of States: Instruments of Global Domination
Abstract
The dual role of states (utility and threat), their embodiment of the interests of the dominant social groups, the competition and belligerency between states, and their interaction with other economical and social institutions as big corporations give special relevance to the relative size of states and to the theoretical conception of states and their relationships, particularly to their fragmentation or destruction in a perspective of global domination—often under an apparently progressive invocation of the self-determination right (promoting independentism and fractional nationalism) and democracy. In this context, we underline the dominance of the oligarchic-imperial ideology, in its different variations, even over some expressions of the new postmodernist left and the double global-imperial policy of dismembering non-hegemonic states, on one hand, and weakening of the state institution, usurping some of its traditional functions (particularly those related to a direct economic role) even inside the hegemonic states.
