  2. Lecture Outline for 8/29 • Syllabus available at: http://spot.colorado.edu/~dabe1889/teaching.html • Actors in IA • Levels of Analysis • Long Term Trends in IA • 1. Increase in the number of nation-states • 2.. Proliferation of IGOs • 3. Economic Globalization

  3. Actors in International Affairs Primary actor is the nation-state (or country), which includes 1) a government (or state) presiding over 2) a population (or nation) within 3) a well-defined territory. Why primary? Concept of sovereignty Can you think of countries that lack one or more of the attributes listed above?

  4. Other Actors in International Affairs Important non-state actors include: IGOs NGOs MNCs Where do terrorist groups fit into the state/non-state actor schema?

  5. Levels of Analysis • Global • Interstate/International • Domestic • 4. Individual

  6. How do Levels of Analysis Matter? Dependent Variable vs. Independent Variable (event to be explained) (factor that does the explaining) All dependent variables in IA have an international dimension, but not necessarily the independent variable. The Level of Analysis helps identify different independent variables Example: Explaining the End of the Cold War Global – telecommunications revolution Interstate – US/USSR arms race Domestic – Soviet’s economic modernization Can you think of an individual level explanation for the end of the Cold War?

  7. Long-Term Trends in International Affairs • An increase in the number of nation-states • Why? Decolonization • State Disintegration • Is this a good or bad development?

  8. 2. Proliferation of IGOs (see Figure 7.1 on p. 235 in G&P, 10thed) • 4 major global IGOs: United Nations, • World Bank group, • International Monetary Fund, • World Trade Organization • Many new regional IGOs: European Union • NAFTA, • Mercosur (Southern Cone Common Market) • ASEAN • Gulf Cooperation Council • African Union • Why this proliferation of IGOs?

  9. 3. Economic Globalization Freer flow of goods, services, capital, and labor across national borders Is this trend in tension with the first trend: proliferation of state actors? If so, then what will prevail: open economic borders or well-defined nation-states?
