States have always needed a national defence capability, and as you suggest will continue to do so... the bigger Q. is whether that should focus on defence or the additional projection of power into external territories/regions.
For me; the basic structures of representative democracy are fine, we just need stronger gender equality norms & practices - and that is a long term cultural change not a quick technical fix (i.e not just changing the funding of parties)
