four key attributes of global politics

1. There are countries or states that are independent and
govern themselves.
2. These countries interact with each other through
diplomacy.
3. There are international organizations like the United
Nations (UN), that facilitate these interactions.
4. Beyond simply facilitating meetings between states,
international organizations also take on lives of their
own.

monopoly of force within their mutually
recognized territories.

framework that grew out of the Quadruple
Alliance in November 1815. The goal of the

reestablish peace and stability in Europe. To
accomplish this, a new balance of power had to
be established.

conclusion
✖ The study of international or rather global politics, seeks to
provide an account of politics in the broadest domain. The
domain of international politics in the twenty-first century
is characterised by the increasing number of actors
pursuing common and personal interests.
✖ It is largely due to the globalised, interdependent nature of
the current international political environment that the
concepts of sovereignty and power deserve further
evaluation.
