As a result, rational-choice theory has to contend with significant limitations when applied to the study of ethnic conflict, as it concerns unstable politics. For Sharp, political power, the power of any state—regardless of its particular structural organization—ultimately derives from the subjects of the state. However, as relative power is difficult to measure objectively it must be done subjectively, and this often seems offensive to neighbouring groups.

In studying such transformations it is always necessary to distinguish between the material transformation of the economic conditions of production, which can be determined with the precision of natural science, and the legal, political, religious, artistic or philosophic — in short, ideological forms in which men become conscious of this conflict and fight it out. These conflicts would be then reflected in society and Ward assumed there had been a "perpetual and vigorous struggle" among various "social forces" that shaped civilization.
