If anything I think alliances are a bit weak. They are only a net gain of 1 point and they really don't prevent late game surges to gain territory. While these border alliances do offer some resource benefit at the beginning of the game, they are often not significant to make them game breaking.
And players only have to focus on one of the alliance members in order to break it. If one player is obviously hurting in points, then it's no longer smart for the higher point player to remain in the alliance...
