Network States

The UAE did a deal with Egypt to manage a piece of their land. 

This is another type of network state: a traditional state that expands into a global network through land management deals.

In the next crisis, well-run states will have the cash to buy land. And insolvent states that need the cash will sell land.

Am lil bit curious how might this trend impact the balance of power in future crises, where well-run states with cash reserves can buy land from insolvent states in need of funds? 🤔 will this be a great leap towards something good??
