Core concepts
Power
Refers to the ability of one global actor to influence the action of another global actor. Power can be exercised in a range of types.
Sovereignty
Legitimate or widely recognised ability to exercise effective control of a territory within recognised borders. This is the primary organising principle of global politics, providing a state with the authority to represent their territorial entity within the international community. State sovereignty can be challenged internally (e.g. secessionist groups) or externally (e.g. one state invades another).
Global governance
Refers to institutions, rules, norms and legal arrangments that seek to facilitate cooperation, and manage relations, betweens states. Governance is carried out both governmental organisations such as the United Nations and non-governmental organisations such as the International Criminal Court.
State
Traditionally this term refers to the central actor in global politics. States possess a permanent population, defined territory and recognised sovereignty. States are not necessarily culturally homogenous, for example Australia.
Multilateralism
Refers to a system of coordinating relations between three or more states, usually in pursuit of objectives in particular areas.
Naiton
Refers to a group of people claiming common bonds based on culture, language and history. Some nations have their own state, such as the Japanese, while others want their own states such as the Tibetans and Kurds.
Globalisation
Refers to acceleration an intensification of exchange of goods, services, labour and capital which promote global interdependence. These have been facilitated by rapid changes in communication and technology.
