i just don't know why you're playing off globalization against hegemony. that's the same logic that argues that markets work because entities seek to compete for the common good. as integration does not negate nationalism, it does not negate conquest, either. i mean, it's sort of hilarious to me how often you hear this idea from leftists. it's really just a restatement of the end of history. if you really think capitalism is inherently unstable, you shouldn't be shocked by the failure of globalized markets to bring peace and stability to the world.
