Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: MA, Columbia Universität New York, language: English, abstract: In comparison to other types of social relations, one characteristic is peculiar to international relations: their core is political interaction. This is because in the absence of a legitimate center of power, international relations represent a continuous process of rivalry and harmonization of the interests of states. However, in the second half of the 20th century, the importance of the economic factor has immeasurably grown in the life of the international community, producing in many ways a new quality of international relations. This is manifested in some events and trends. Firstly, after World War II, relatively actors new in comparison with states, such as global economic organizations, transnational corporations, and banks that had taken an important place in international relations, including in the sphere of power relations, entered the world arena.
