Abstract:

Abstract Global, or world, politics refers to the multiple, entangled, and complex processes and practices through which our world(s) are experienced and understood. The term is difficult to define, in part because the parameters of what is considered “global,” “politics,” and the “political” are always already plural and subject to contestation. While mainstream perspectives within the discipline of international relations (IR) might conceive of global politics as consisting of relations across state borders, between states, and concerning political, economic, legal, and social dynamics, critical perspectives within the discipline have moved away from a clear definition and instead offer a multiplicity of perspectives on the concept. Through the intellectual developments and contributions within and beyond IR, questions of who does global politics, where global politics takes place, and what issues constitute global politics have been deepened, broadened, and reimagined to acknowledge the multiple worlds and lives of the global.
