A core state
can perform its ordering function
because member states perceive it is cultural kin. A civilisation is an
extended family and, like older members of a family, core states provide their relatives
both with support and discipline.
In the absence of that kinship, the ability of a more powerful state to resolve conflicts
in and impose order in its region
is limited.
