Thanks for the review NDD. I've only read the article, not the book. It helped explain US military intervention for me.
One question I had reading the article was whether it was too US-centric, i.e., what is a gap state to us might not be a gap state to say, China. He appears to explain that away using globalization, meaning it's not whether you are aligned with US interests or not, but rather your degree of connectivity to globalization, that will place you within the core.
Is that what you meant by globalization as a cure-all?
