Role of Organisations as Non-State Actors in International Relations

Non-state Actors

International Relations

National Security

Nation-states have traditionally occupied an inviolable position as sole actors on the world stage. States act as rational autonomous entities that follow their self-interest with the goals of security, sovereignty, and survival in perspective. In their pursuit of security, states amass resources that allow their military and economic capabilities to increase their power relative to other states. The primacy of states within International relations, however, is now being questioned by the emergence of nonstate actors in world affairs and the changing nature of global governance. State power can be exercised along with the influence of soft power, economy-based decisions, and the role of private actors or organizations, all of which have now become legitimate mediums of governance in the present-day International system.
