Answer:
Pluralist theory
Explanation:
Pluralism/pluralist theory is the view that politics and decision making lies mostly in the framework of government, but that many non-governmental/interest groups have power and exert influence with their resources. In other words that saying that groups govern the state and not the people as a whole, groups such as trade unions, business and financial lobbies, coalitions of like minded people etc.
Well, I can't give you a paragraph, but here goes: If the Silk Road had never had never developed, then China wouldn't have been able to trade, travel, or communicate with other places/people. If China was totally isolated, then many things that they made would never have been made, such as gunpowder and china (plates). And if China hadn't made those things, then we would never had used them either. For example, without gunpowder, we might have not won certain wars. (Alright, I think that should get you started).
