Chapter 1: Globalization and global politics
• Over the last three decades the sheer scale, scope, and acceleration of global
interconnectedness has become increasingly evident in every sphere from the economic to
the cultural. Sceptics do not regard this as evidence of globalization if that term means
something more than simply international interdependence,
i.e. linkages between countries. The key issue becomes what we understand by the term
‘globalization’.
• Globalization denotes a tendency towards the growing extensity, intensity, velocity, and
deepening impact of worldwide interconnectedness.
• Globalization is associated with a shift in the scale ofsocial organization, the emergence of
the world as a shared social space, the relative deterritorialization of social, economic, and
political activity, and the relative denationalization of power.
• Globalization can be conceptualized as a fundamental shift or transformation in the spatial
scale of human social organization that links distant communities and expands the reach of
power relations across regions and continents.
• Globalization is to be distinguished from internationalization and regionalization.
• Economic globalization may be at risk as a result ofthe 2008 financial crisis, but the
contemporary phase of globalization has proved more robust than the sceptics recognize.
• Contemporary globalization is a multidimensional, uneven, and asymmetrical process.
• Contemporary globalization is best described asa thick form of globalization or globalism.
• Globalization is transforming but not burying the Wespt halian ideal of sovereign statehood.
It is producing the disaggregated state.
• Globalization requires a conceptual shift in our thinkingabout world politics from a
principally state-centric perspective to the perspective of geocentric or global politics—the
politics of worldwide social relations.
• Global politics is more accurately described as distortedglobal politics because it is afflicted
by significant power asymmetries.

Chapter 2: The evolution of international society
• ‘International society’ is any assocai tion of distinct political communities that accept some
common values, rules, and institutions.
• It is the central concept of the ‘English School’ of International Relations.
• Although originally coined to refer to relations among European states, the term may be
applied to many different sets of political arrangements among distinct political
communities.
• Elements of international society may be found from ht e time of the first organized human
communities.
• Early forms of diplomacy and treaties existed in the ancient Middle East.
• Relations among the city-states of ancient Greecewere characterized by more
developed societal characteristics, such as arbitration.
• Ancient China, India, and Rome all had ht eir own distinctive international societies.
• Medieval Europe’s international society was a complex mixture of supranational,
transnational, national, and subnational structures.
• The Catholic Church played a key role in elaborating ht e normative basis of medieval
international society.
• Islam developed its own distinctive understanding of international society.
• The main ingredients of contemporary internationalsociety are the principles of
sovereignty and non- intervention, and the institutions of diplomacy, the balance of
power, and international law.
• These took centuries to develop, although the Peace of Westphalia (1648) was a key
event in their establishment throughout Europe.
• The Napoleonic Wars were followed by a shift to a more managed, hierarchical, international
society within Europe and an imperial structure in Europe’s relations with much of the rest of
the world.
• The League of Nations was an attempt to place international society on a more secure
organizational foundation.
• The United Nations was intended to be a much-improved League of Nations but the cold
war prevented it from functioning as such.
• Decolonization led to the worldwide spread ofthe European model of international society.
• The collapse of the Soviet Union completed this process.
• Globalization poses serious problems for asovereignty-based international society.
• These include the challenges emanating from new forms of community, failing states in
Africa, American hyper-power, growing resistance to Western ideas, and global poverty and
environmental issues.
