  Competing bimodal coalitions among a group of actors are discussed. First, a
model from political sciences is revisited. Most of the model statements are
found not to be contained in the model. Second, a new coalition model is built.
It accounts for local versus global alignment with respect to the joining of a
coalition. The existence of two competing world coaltions is found to yield one
unique stable distribution of actors. On the opposite a unique world leadership
allows the emergence of unstable relationships. In parallel to regular actors
which have a clear coalition choice, ``neutral" ``frustrated" and ``risky"
actors are produced. The cold war organisation after world war II is shown to
be rather stable. The emergence of a fragmentation process from eastern group
disappearance is explained as well as continuing western group stability. Some
hints are obtained about possible policies to stabilize world nation
relationships. European construction is analyzed with respect to european
stability. Chinese stability is also discussed.
