The State-model history subordinates war and domination to the State.

Evidence

So you see, with analyses like this we obviously have, first, the elimination of war’s function as an analyzer of historico-political processes, or at least its strict curtailment. War is now no more than an ephemeral and instrumental aspect of confrontations which are not of a warlike nature. Second, the essential element is no longer the relationship of domination that exists between one nation and another or one group and another; the fundamental relationship is the State. — Michel Foucault, Society Must Be Defended, 251
