International politics & state strength/ by Thomas J.Volgy and Alison Bailin - New Delhi Viva Books 2005 - 173 p.

The authors consider both the nature of state strength and thechanging capabilities of the states most likely to construct globalarchitecture. Demonstrating that the traditional structures of global order--hegemony, bipolarity, and mutlipolarity -- are inconsistent with existing andproject patterns of state strength, they present a provocative alternative modelthat reflects the "creeping incrementalism" of multilateralinstitutions and the "institutionalised group hegemony" of the G-7states. In the final chapter, they explore the weaknesses of the presentarchitectural arrangements and discuss alternate scenarios.
