 | | In the Westphalian system, it was the ruler of the nation-state, regardless of whether he or she was a monarch, a military dictator, a dear leader,or embodied in an oligarchy, an aristocracy, or a parliament. |
 | | With this, the American subversion of the Westphalian system commenced – passively and by distant example for the first century, somewhat more actively towards the end of the nineteenth and into the twentieth century, and beginning to mobilize for more energetic subversion now. |
