Challenges to the State System Edited by Yoshikazu Sakamoto Studies on Multilateralism and the UN System The underlying forces that helped to end the Cold War are internationalization, represented by the market, and democratization, which is rooted in civil society.

The dialectic of these two forces poses challenges to the basic framework of the modern international order - the state system. These challenges form the main themes of this book.
