Ultimately, these theories gave primacy to internal variables that affect the political outcomes of a nation, such as levels of economic development, industrialization, distribution of wealth, political culture, levels of literacy, type of political leadership, strength of institutions, presence of a civil society, and the development of crucial classes. Similar to institutions, foreign policy is used by nations to guard their interests, especially under the guise of exporting democracy. http://www.isanet.org/noarchive/kisielewski.html   (10753 words)      PANNA: Concentration of Wealth.
