Question

what would have to shift an order to change the powers matrix of a given territory or country

Answer 1

Under the impact of diverse processes referred to as "globalization" states cede authority to supra-national and sub-national levels of government as well as to non-hierarchical spheres of governance. But states also take on new functions in organizing and steering the emerging trans-border governance processes. A restructured territorial state, which is no longer of the Keynesian national welfare type, remains central to the management of capitalism.
