I'm not sure, because I'm not sure what decentralization means. To me 
it doesn't indicate the abolition of the state but some amelioration 
and diffusion of its macro structures. I suppose this could provide 
substantive hinderances to a few components of its power--its ability 
to control the war machine, for instance, or to regulate the 
financial sector--but that doesn't seem enough to me to bypass its 
border-drawing mechanisms. Am I wrong about this or missing something?
