Content
In a turbulent and interconnected world, people look beyond the state to make sense of the world and bring about change. In the absence of economic or military power, activists come together to join transnational coalitions, harnessing the power of ideas to seek changes to the national, transnational or global order. In the first part of this unit, students study the conceptual frameworks that have developed to make sense of these non-state actors and their influence in world politics. These concepts, around strategies, the spread of ideas, effectiveness, state-activist interaction and the politics of representation, are then applied to the practice of international relations through a series of case studies in the second part of the unit, where students will hear first-hand about experiences of activism from a range of guest lecturers.
