Théorie de la transition des pouvoirsLa Théorie de la transition des pouvoirs est une théorie affirmant le caractère cyclique de la guerre dans les relations internationales. Initiée par Abramo Organski et publiée dans son livre World Politics (1958), cette théorie présente aujourd'hui les relations internationales comme un système hiérarchisé, admettant que les États peuvent atteindre quatre degrés différents de puissance. Son objectif est d'enquêter sur les conditions menant aux cycles des guerres, et de savoir comment la transition du pouvoir et l'ingérence les affectent.
International courtInternational courts are formed by treaties between nations or under the authority of an international organization such as the United Nations and include ad hoc tribunals and permanent institutions but exclude any courts arising purely under national authority. An international court is an international organization, or a body of an international organization, that hears cases in which one party may be a state or international organization (or body thereof), and which is composed of independent judges who follow predetermined rules of procedure to issue binding decisions on the basis of international law.
Théorie de l'acteur-réseauLa théorie de l'acteur-réseau, aussi connue sous l'abréviation ANT (pour Actor-Network Theory), sociologie de la traduction ou encore sociologie de l'acteur-réseau terme choisi par Michel Callon, est une approche sociologique développée à partir des années 1980 par Michel Callon, Bruno Latour, Madeleine Akrich et d'autres chercheurs du Centre de sociologie de l'innovation de Mines ParisTech. Son principal théoricien anglo-saxon est John Law, mais il faut citer aussi Arie Rip, Susan Leigh Star, Geoffrey Bowker.
Interventionism (politics)Interventionism is a political practice of intervention, particularly to the practice of governments to interfere in political affairs of other countries, staging military or trade interventions. Economic interventionism is a different practice of intervention, one of economic policy at home. Military intervention, as the main issue, has been defined by Martha Finnemore in the context of international relations as "the deployment of military personnel across recognized boundaries for the purpose of determining the political authority structure in the target state".
Philosophie de la guerreLa philosophie de la guerre est l'ensemble des réflexions philosophiques ayant trait à la guerre. Emmanuel Kant propose dans plusieurs de ses ouvrages des réflexions sur la guerre. La guerre s'inscrit dans une dialectique historique. La guerre est une voie historique de non-droit, qui permet d'aboutir à la création de droit. Dans Conjectures sur le commencement de l'histoire humaine, Kant soutient que c'est c'est lorsque les familles vivent de manière proche que la guerre peut être déclenchée.
Emerging powerAn emerging power or rising power is a state or union of states with significant rising influence in global affairs. Such a power aspires to have a more powerful position or role in international relations, either regionally or globally, and possess sufficient resources and levels of development that such goals are potentially achievable. There are few available conceptualizations of the term "emerging power". Therefore, there is no standard or agreed method to decide which states are emerging powers.
Liberal international orderIn international relations, the liberal international order (LIO), also known as the rules-based international order (RBIO), or the rules-based order (RBO), describes a set of global, rule-based, structured relationships based on political liberalism, economic liberalism and liberal internationalism since the late 1940s. More specifically, it entails international cooperation through multilateral institutions (like the United Nations, World Trade Organization and International Monetary Fund) and is constituted by human equality (freedom, rule of law and human rights), open markets, security cooperation, promotion of liberal democracy, and monetary cooperation.
