He argues that comparing potential trade creation and trade diversion resulted from accession of Moldova to the CU demonstrates that the latter will exceed the former, overall negatively affecting welfare.
She argues that analysing both key international legal documents and the practice of states belonging to various legal systems concerning the death penalty shows that the right to life is a special customary rule.
Countries committed to capitalism can extend democracy within the country as a form of government as far as the people do not use democracy to directly threaten the 'central institutions in society' (Noam Chomsky interview: Business Today, May 1973, pp. 13-15) under capitalism, i.e. the notion of private property or the need for continuous, exponential growth. This becomes more difficult when there is not enough surplus to meet the basic needs of the majority, meaning it becomes more difficult in poorer countries than in richer ones. It also becomes more difficult in one country later in time than earlier, since capitalism's nature of exponential growth results in exponential stresses on both resources and social institutions as time passes.
Outside of itself, a country committed to capitalism cannot afford to act democratically except rarely. The 'community' of states is a closer resemblance to a oligarchic society, 'when the rich and the noble govern, they being at the same time few in number' (Artistotle: POL [1290b 18]) than to a democratic one.
