Abstract
During the twentieth century the world order, the international system, has been transformed from a system in which all the proceedings were defined by those in control (the Strong) into one in which the rhetoric — and to some extent the reality — is defined by the non-white majority (the Many). This transformation occurred after the century was more than half-way through. During the first three decades the world order was still, effectively, the European or white order.
