, Lecture 1: Introduction to International Relations

Reading: Introducing Global Politics (Chapter 1)

International vs. Globalization Paradigm:

• International Paradigm: States are taken to be the essential building blocks of world politics,

meaning that world affairs boil down, essentially, to the relations between states

• Globalization (Emerging):

• Definition: The emergence of a complex web of interconnectedness that means that our lives

are increasingly shaped by events that occur, and decisions that are made, at a great distance

from us

• World affairs have been transformed in recent decades by the growth of global

interconnectedness and interdependence. In this view, the world no longer operates as a

disaggregated collection of states, or ‘units’, but rather as an integrated whole, as ‘one world’.

Defining Global Politics

Global: (i) worldwide significance

(ii) all elements within a system, not just to the system as a whole
