This article assesses the general significance for International Relations theory of the literature on globalization. It argues that globalization is a pervasively unsettling process which needs to be explained not only as an issue in its own right but for the insight which it affords into cognate areas of theory. In short, it advances an analytical model whereby globalization itself can be understood and utilizes this as a theoretical scheme that may be applied more generally. The predominant conceptualization of the globalization issue within International Relations has been the debate between the proponents of state redundancy and the champions of continuing state potency. In turn, these arguments rest upon an image of state capacities being eroded by external forces, or alternatively of external forces being generated by state action. In either case, there is the assumed duality of the state(s) set off from, and ranged against, a seemingly external environment. Instead, this article argues that the state occupies a middle ground between the internal and external and is itself both shaped by and formative of the process of globalization.

The breakup of the Habsburg monarchy was perhaps the most exceptional change made in the political geography of the European world of our times. It would be too much to say that the shot fired at Sarajevo destroyed the Austro-Hungarian empire. But it is hardly an exaggeration to suggest that the young assassin was a living embodiment of the principle of nationalism in the South Slavic lands and that the shot which he fired was a deliberate blow at the political-geographic structure of the Habsburg monarchy. Those competent to discuss the question are almost unanimous in their verdict: the dissolution of the empire was brought on by a combination of external forces and an internal disintegration. The internal disintegration actually impelled the state to expose itself to the external forces. The works of scholars from many countries and disciplines2who have carefullyanalyzed the structure and function of the Habsburg empire have been scrutinized with the view of studying the regions which formed this empire, their different characteristics and associations, and their connections with each other and to the state in order to ascertain to what extent the area of the empire constituted a state in the modern sense and to note any weaknesses in its morphology and physiology that helped to account for its collapse. The contribution of political geography to this critical evaluation of nationalism as a disintegrating force of the Habsburg empire lies in an analysis of the major problems of the internal situation of that empire.

The paper presents the construction of single-staged centrifugal pump with the impeller supported in longitudinal and transversal sealing clearances. In the state of equilibrium the impeller is supported by axial and radial forces and moments of pressure, which occur on both sides of the impeller in annular clearances. In the result the impeller adopts optimal non-contact position in which all the external forces that works on this are in balance. A description of the statics and the dynamics of the impeller has been presented.

The organization of the medical and legal professions in Britain has depended heavily on ideologies of self-regulation, and on different institutional creations inspired by those ideologies. Self-regulation balances professions between the market and the state. In recent years both medicine and the law have been subjected to greater competition in the market, and greater control by the state. Part of the explanation for change lies in conditions particular to medicine and law but the similarity in recent regulatory experiences can only be explained by the working of common external forces. Two are identified: the impact of long-term cultural change on a regulatory balancing act originally created in an undemocratic and hierarchical society; and the impact of a modernizing elite in British government seeking to use state power to reverse the decline in British competitiveness.
