What is missing from this kind of analysis is the role of globalization in technology production, and the role of law in globalization.
Legally speaking, the international order has a heavy liberal slant, and major liberal powers like the US, UK, and EU are its guarantors.

This is why we are trapped in a cycle of repetitive, disappointing attempts to use the nation-state paradigm to establish Islamic governance - because this is the only legal paradigm compatible with the global markets governed by liberal hegemony.
Interestingly, entire populations in liberal, neo-colonial power centers are turning in large numbers toward local autonomy. This applies to both the left and the right - the left, for ecological reasons, and the right for nationalist, populist reasons.
This is because they recognize that although their technological supply chains are dependent on a high degree of globalization, that this dependence represents a kind of vulnerability is well. More specialized systems (ie. monoculture) also have more single points of failure.
Legally speaking, sharia is tawheed.
This is why every Islamic movement that fulfills the legal requirements to integrate into the global order is a total disappointment to anyone who has a sound understanding of tawheed.

Tawheed is actually in our material as well as spiritual interests, because it necessitates high levels of local autonomy.
Every region that adopts sharia pushes back the hegemony of liberal markets and is a move toward Islamic economic globalization.

Sharia has definite similarities to some aspects of neo-liberalism when it comes to trade policy, and this is conducive to regional specialization and technology, to some extent, but it will never look like Western hegemony for various reasons.
The ideological dimension of the war against liberalism is more important than the kinetic dimension, because belief in the empty promises of the West keeps Muslims from fulfilling their responsibility of jihad more than anything else.
Multiple LEGAL trade blocs to capturing market share from liberal hegemony will dramatically reduce the technological capacity of the entire world.
This is more effective than a military victory, because it can cause liberalism to lose its appeal and moral high ground.

This is why it is so important to educate Muslims about the utter incompatibility of interfacing with the liberal international order not only with TAWHEED but also sound ideological/geopolitical strategy.
We have the deluded and hypocrites arguing that these violations of tawheed are permissible due to necessity, when in reality this strategy only drags us deeper into the mud of dependence on a doomed international system.
You don't need to study geopolitics to understand this, it's sufficient to read what our scholars have said about the obligation of implementing sharia totally for centuries.
