    The onset of the knowledge economy era and acceleration of globalization accentuate the influence of the international system on modes of government and the unprecedented challenges it creates. Certain scholars believe that governments will, as the general trend indicates, make the transition from the convention of ‘managing the masses’ to that of coordinating natural resources for the common good, by enacting the roles of navigator, harmonizer, and communicator. Many pro-globalization scholars adopt the ‘the reversed second image’ method of analysing factors of globalization and the international system that influence domestic politics. Robert Keohane and Helen Milner, for instance, point out that the process of internationalization is certain to remould domestic policy, as political systems mirror policy makers’ preferences and reactions as regards the benefits of internationalization.
