Question 2
In the international system, present-day actors
a. have never been more secure than now. With the exceptions of terrorist groups
and national liberation movements, the future is assured for present-day actors.
b.are under internal and/or external assault. Although their survival may not
currently be in question, their legitimacy and raison d'tre are.
c. seldom satisfy the needs of their constituents. It therefore would not be too
surprising if several classes of actors were to pass from existence before the end of
the century.
d. are becoming more and more similar across the board. States act more and more
like multinational corporations, which in turn act more like nongovernmental
organizations, and so on. This is called convergence.
