They also assess the redefinition of international relations by instantaneous, worldwide financial and telecommunication linkages, and explore the struggles of new multinational and non-governmental organizations to define their roles when fundamental concepts such as the nation state are being challenged.

Using an integrative approach to international relations, the second edition of Reordering the World returns the geo” to geopolitical analysis of current global issues. The contributors focus on key emerging world issues, such as spatial data technology, IGOs/NGOs, gender and world politics, boundary disputes, refugee flows, ecological degradation, and UN intervention in civil wars. They also assess the redefinition of international relations by instantaneous, worldwide financial and telecommunication linkages and explore the struggles of new multinational and nongovernmental organizations to define their roles.
