Second footnote to the post titled “Interlinking Hegemonic Powers”

What is central and essential, however, to a hegemonic transition is “social formations and states.” In other words, what is central or essential to a hegemonic transition is what goes on at the “top layer of accumulation” in a core state. In turn, what goes on at the top layer of accumulation in a core state impacts social formations in the world. Thus, the concept or the notion that what is central and essential to a hegemonic transition like the one we are witnessing and experiencing today is the combination of social formations but first and foremost what goes on at the top layer of accumulation of a core state, and how core states interact with one another.
