Bringing Transnational Relations Back In: Non-State Actors, Domestic Structures and International Institutions

341 Pages·1995·7.17 MB·English

by  Thomas Risse-Kappen

Taking a fresh look at the impact of non-state actors on world politics
and on the foreign policies of states, this book revives the debate
on transnational relations which started in the 1970s. This debate
withered away in the face of state-centered approaches, but this
book's new approach emphasizes the interaction of states and trans-
national actors, arguing that domestic structures of the state as well as
international institutions mediate the policy influence of trans-
national actors.
Empirical chapters examine the European Economic and Monetary
Union, US-Japanese transnational relations, multinational corpora-
tions in East Asia, Soviet and Russian security policy, democratization
in Eastern Europe, and ivory management in Africa. The book
concludes with chapters discussing the theoretical implications of the
findings in the empirical studies.
