Who are we, who are they?

Article Abstract:

There were 62 separate states in 1914, and this had risen to 74, and there are 193 in 1999. The role of the state is changig, and there have been other changes such as the end of the cold war, and a move away from command economies. The world has still not become uniform. The changes in the 1990s could result in major shifts by 2050, and this depends on whether the changes have been fundamental. There are new types of conflict, as has been illustrated by war in Kosovo, Yugoslavia.
