Abstract: |
Traditionally, the state has been the primary actor in the international system. However, its nature, role, and significance are evolving. While the state acquires an expanding range of responsibilities, it is simultaneously compelled, for reasons of effectiveness and legitimacy, to share the sphere of power with a variety of other actors. This occurs, firstly, through the cooperation and conflict between the state and various social groups, and secondly, at the level of regional and global intergovernmental organizations that facilitate the collaboration of states in achieving their goals within the global system. State policy cannot be examined without the simultaneous study of other actors and structures. Policies concerning economic development and prosperity, as well as the addressing of various problems (such as global warming), cannot be implemented unilaterally by any single state. These issues concern all parts of the world, and consequently, all people on the planet.
