A Geopolitical Marketplace?

I have no idea how this works or where exactly the idea takes us, but neither does the author. It opens up an interesting line of thinking though, and does reinforce the point that not all parties to a transaction, negotiation, etc (at anywhere from the interpersonal to the international level) have the same interests nor priorities. Always an important point, yet often forgotten.
