A Theoretical Study on the Influence of a Strong State to a Weak State
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to provide a theoretical foundation of influence process between a strong state and a weak state, which is, in some degree, meaningful for social observers to understand the phenomena of compliance and conflict in the international community. The influence process in this article is devised as starting from proposing the influence strategies to analyzing the influence results, pointing out when a strong state’s influence would be successful and when their conflicts would happen.References
