The other key reference point for these suggested images is something that appears in Huntington's The Clash, figure 9.1.
Although this image is two dimensional it clearly implies, to me, at least, three or more dimensions, and contending gobbling globes might be ranged around some three dimensional globular representation of figure 9.1, to suggest what I have described so far.
It can suggest both geography, and relative magnitude, and relative civilizational associations and rivalries at once.
I know this a tall order for a graphic, but someone has probably already done it.
It is really, behind the scenes, a game of hard ball, with 'balls to the wall', and 'who's got who by the balls', no doubt, as common, literal and figurative, epithets, for the playing of the game, in the so called real world, not that 'globalization game' described here.
