The differences are determined by the following factors: inclusion into international structures, the number of competing internal and external centers and the degree of tension between centers and cultural-ethnic, regional and economic peripheries, the institutional legacies, the traditions of statehood, resource presence and the degree of political regime consolidation.https://www.comparativepolitics.org/jour/article/view/133statenesspost-soviet statespost-imperial statepost-imperial transitionstatebuilding
