Rethinking World Politics is a major intervention into a central debate in international relations: how has globalization transformed world politics? Most work on world politics still presumes the following: in domestic affairs, individual states function as essentially unified entities, and in international affairs, stable nation-states interact with each other. Utilizing the concept of 'transnational neopluralism,' Philip Cerny reframes our understanding of thecontemporary world by showing a wide variety of sub- and supra-national actors, many of which are organized transnationally rather than nationally, are reshaping domestic and international politics. These actors and processes are notreplacing nation-states, but they are forging new transnational webs of power. Sweeping in its scope, Rethinking World Politics is a landmark work of international relations theory that upends much of our received wisdom about how world politics works and offers us new ways to think about the forces shaping the contemporary world.
