World order, soft power, and non-state actors in international relations theory
Abstract
This paper critically and analytically discusses globalization, Soft Power, NGOs, and the World Order. In addition, the paper explains how Realism, liberalism and constructivism theories view the current world order and the balance of order, and how they generate the evolution of identity with special reference to state actors and the non-actors. The discussion concludes by explaining the significance of alternative world order and the anticipated challenges that the rising nations might face when exercising power politics.
