  Using the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking of scale invariance
obtained from the dynamics of maximal rank field strengths, it is possible to
spontaneously generate confining behavior. Introducing a dilaton field, the
study of non trivial confining and de-confining transitions appears possible.
This is manifest in two ways at least: One can consider bags which contain an
unconfined phase in the internal region and a confined phase outside and also
one obtains a simple model for deconfinement at high Temperature from the
finite Temperature dynamics of the dilaton field.
