PowerPoint Presentation_Scholte-1.pdf

Is it (still) suitable to conceptualise world politics in terms of 'international relations'? Contemporary trends of globalisation, regionalisation and localization have shifted the geography of world politics away from country units. Moreover, many sites of governance in addition to states have gained prominence in world affairs. Also, collective identities and solidarities in world politics are increasingly framed on additional lines besides national communities. Given such trends, has the study of 'International Relations' become obsolete, and does the field want another name?
