Abstract
In Chapter 2 it was noted that the interrelationship between the organisation (whether public, private, commercial or non-commercial) and its ever-changing environment may be summed up by using an ecosystem analogy. On a broader scale it is possible to take this analogy further and look at the relationship between individual countries and groups of nations in a world system. But, although the concept of an interdependent world system had been postulated for some time earlier on a theoretical level, by such academics as Wroe Alderson (1968) in his functional approach, it was not really acknowledged by political leaders until the 1970s.
