In The End of Power, Moises Naim deftly delineates the shifting global dynamics in control, authority and expertise between the traditionally dominant megaplayers (large, stable governments, corporations, armies etc.) and the newly ascendant micropowers (insurgents from WikiLeaks to the Somali pirates to the Tea Party). The agile micropowers are able to break down barriers to power in the political, economic, military and social realms as never before. But although this antiestablishment drive can manifest itself in exciting and inspiring ways, it can also lead to chaos, confusion and paralysis. Naim suggests minilateralism the idea that only the minimum number of relevant parties should be involved in any decision-making as a way out of gridlock and disorder.
