On November 5, 2014, Juan Gabriel Tokatlian '91 published an article titled, "Westphalia to Southphalia" in Open Democracy. The article discussed this interesting question: "Does the rise of non-western states such as China, India, South Africa, and Brazil threaten the dominant model of international politics?"
