Project Overview: Analyzing the role of non-state actors in shaping contemporary international relations

International relations have traditionally been understood as interactions between states on the global stage. However, in recent years, the role of non-state actors in shaping international relations has become increasingly significant. This project aims to analyze the impact and influence of non-state actors such as multinational corporations, non-governmental organizations, and terrorist groups on contemporary international relations.

Research Questions

1. What are the different types of non-state actors involved in international relations?
2. How do non-state actors influence the decision-making processes of states?
3. What are the potential benefits and challenges of non-state actors in shaping international relations?
4. How do non-state actors impact global issues such as human rights, environmental protection, and security?

Methodology

This project will involve a comprehensive literature review of existing research on non-state actors in international relations. It will also include case studies to provide in-depth analysis of specific non-state actors and their impact on global affairs. Interviews with experts in the field and analysis of policy documents will be conducted to gather additional insights.

Expected Outcomes

• A deeper understanding of the role and impact of non-state actors in contemporary international relations.
• Insights into the ways in which non-state actors interact with states and other international organizations.
• Policy recommendations for how states can effectively engage with non-state actors to address global challenges.

Significance

By shedding light on the significant role of non-state actors in international relations, this project aims to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of global politics. It will also provide practical recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders on how to navigate the increasingly complex landscape of international relations in the 21st century.
