What he says/ What I read

"...the impersonal forces of world markets, integrated over the postwar period more by private enterprise in finance, industry and trade than by the cooperative decisions of governments, are now more powerful than the states to whom ultimate political authority over society and economy is supposed to belong."

WIth a nations men drawn to war, it is precisely war that draws up a subsequent reorganization of the labor force. Is it the division of labor or the deviance of war that permits Susan Strange to stake 'informal relations' as partial reasoning for the change in politics.

"the declining authority of states is reflected in a growing diffusion of authority to other institutions and associations, and to local and regional bodies, and in a growing asymmetry between the larger states with structural power and weaker ones without it."

Was such a system of work such as "The Government" created to eventually in some ways or most, work itself out of business? Might ever the people generate so much interest in the topic of control and government that every citizen crosses hands in politics? Would such interest take the (near future form) of lobby groups? Would we lobby our way out of present day politics?

"The need for a political authority of some kind, legitimated either by coercive force or by popular consent, or more often by a combination of the two, is the fundamental reason for the state's existence."

Public goods such as drains, water supplies, infrastructures for transport and communications" are anything but exciting fields now with modern distractions. Cover a society where a public demonstration of drainage testing was as riveting as sitting spectator to ballistic missile testing or of this, and I will show you a society working its way out of a collective, overriding government and into an entrepreneurial polity based not on a constitution, but on innovation and pleasure. Within the range of practicality, the aforementioned society might work on a standard of policing by economic penalties and stratification of sustainability.

"...technological change in products and processes, driven by profit, will not continue to accelerate in future...it goes a long way to explain both political and economic change."

[ But consider that the approach The United States takes with the war in Iraq has to be wired differently in strategy when staging foreign forces on Afghan grounds. In other words, the beginning may look awfully similar, but in reality, by stripping both starts (that of the enthusiastic society and that of the United Nations) of their differences may and in all likelihood with our past to serve as our judge and jury, strip the potential from both comparative forms above. ]
