Studying the system as a system of unequal nations and studying the system as a system of global inequality (that is looking a the gaps between the global rich and the global poor) are quite difficult given the nationalist assumptions of the social contractarian tradition that has dominated political thought from Hobbes to Rawls as Amartya Sen has shown in the Idea of Justice (Milanovic also offers a critique of Rawls) and the nationalist assumptions of economics and political economy as Stephen Marglin has shown.
