Thanks, Michael, for this useful insight. Language evolves... and Google is
probably more relevant than the Encyclopaedia Britannica (an excerpt from
the Britannica is enclosed) since Google reflects how language is used NOW.
The only consideration is to check if the same understanding of "alliance"
is shared both by different professions (beyond IG/ICT circles) and,
globally, by different national cultures. It has to be a GLOBAL alliance.
Can we conduct a quick survey of intercultural and interprofessional
communication?

Excerpt from the Encyclopaedia Britannica:

......alliances provide for combined action on the part of two or more
independent states and are generally defensive in nature, obligating allies
to join forces if one or more of them is attacked by another state or
coalition. Although alliances. (need to subscribe for full text...)
