Features: This is a very useful book that combines tools from different disciplines such as economics, political science, and science to provide a profound elaboration on the discussed topics. It should be a desk reference for all those interested in modern international relations. This work explores the changing relationships among states, subnational, and transnational actors, and examines the interplay of the concept of sovereignty in understanding contemporary politics. It begins with five major areas—world economy, technological change, security dilemma, ecological crisis, and new social movements—to describe trends in the contemporary world and possibilities for the future. The book makes a significant contribution to political theory, offers new insights into the emerging world political system, and proposes a challenging new macro-political analytical approach.
