The Tri-Model Framework for International Analysis
Abstract
Since the end of the Cold War, observers and analysts of international politics and national security affairs have struggled with the resulting changes in state behavior and organization. In retrospect, the Cold War period, and indeed, the period of great industrialized nation states, was short lived. During previous generations, society generally organized itself as religious groupings and ethnic tribes, with dynastic rulers nested as subsets within these groups. Economic organizations were subservient to these entities. However, with transformations in politics, science and technology, the relevant position of dynasties and ethnically-based regimes declined, while economic organizations have risen. This is the international landscape of today, and understanding it is crucial for analyzing the world and formulating foreign policy.
