Herein, I\nprovide theory formation based on a new concept which I\u2019m developing:\nfriction-based cohesion. It describes empires which were engaged in structural\nfriction and thus created domestic coherence. Structural friction, then, refers\nto competition, which was often based on ideas of zero-sum thinking,\nexclusivity, monopolies and conflicts in many sections such as politics,\nmilitary, religion and trade. In the\nfollowing text I concentrate on the Greater Caribbean and provide a new temporal\nclassification which accounts for all European empires throughout the centuries\nas well as a classification of inter-imperial interactions resulting in 3 major\ngeostrategic options: expansion, defense and stalemate.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
