Shouldn't it be advantageOUS and disadvantageOUS nations?
 * No, because those words apply to things that "give" advantage, not things that "have" it. A sword in battle is advantageous while its wielder is advantaged. China, for example, may be advantageous to have as an ally, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it holds advantage over anyone else. A similar confusion occurs with the terms nauseous and nauseated (a person is usually not "nauseous" unless he or she actually causes others to feel sick).

The redundant article Power Transition Theory (with the capitals)...
...needs to be merged into here by someone knowledgable. (It's not quite as thorough, but I notice a few gems of data that I don't think this article has.) Who's up to the task? —Lenoxus 17:35, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

That article Power Transition Theory is structured much better than this one so I would contend that this article should be merged into that one. Twentyfourfifteen 16:40, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
