He argues that it is the pressure from the global economic forces, driven by the market economy, with their new world order, that wants to re-colonise the nation states.

The rise of periphery, the changing allegiances of the elites and movements that challenge the authority of the states are pushing the state towards the new world order (and for Kothari, the new world order is an authoritarian oligarchical structure).
