    Study Notes

    Transnational Power and Adaptation

    • Power is not solely military; it's the ability to adapt to the transnational system.
    • Interdependence creates vulnerability, as autonomy is limited by the actions of others.
    • John Burton's world society concept focuses on individuals interacting across borders, not states.
    • This perspective suggests society pre-dates states.
    • Communication and organizing influence are crucial.
    • The "cobweb" model contrasts the "billiard ball" model, showing interconnectedness across issues and countries.
    • Changes in one area impact the entire system.
    • No clear distinction between domestic and international affairs.
    • The international state of nature is not as threatening as the original state of nature: it is easier for states to provide security than it is for individuals to do it.
    • State of nature à Hobbes' famous description of the original, pre-civil existence of humankind, a state in which life is ‘solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short'.

    Transnationalism Applications

    • James Rosenau uses "post-international" instead of "transnational" regarding the complexities of international relations.
    • International actors are those who are active in trans-boundary relations.
    • Transnational relations exist between or beyond national boundaries and involve interactions between non-state actors or interactions between non-state actors and states/governments.
    • Non-state actors play important roles in transnational relations.

    EU Clean Air Regulations

    • EU sets air quality limits for pollutants.
    • EU limits are often less strict than WHO limits.
    • Pollution sources include transport (diesel cars) and agriculture (ammonium emissions, 92% from agriculture).
    • Implementation of plans to meet limits often takes too long.
    • The plans for dealing with the limits take too much time to conceive and put into action, resulting in a delay between the current conditions and when the measures are implemented.

    Transnational Climate Governance

    • Transnational governance is multifaceted and involves national policies and non-state actors (cities, businesses, NGOs).
    • Networks link these actors.
    • Various actors contribute different capacities and sources of authority.
