It will be identified the different actors of the international system which are susceptible to upset the polarity of this system. Nation-states, IGOs and MNCs will thus be described and presented, and their strength into the completion of such achievement will be identified. To conclude, the thesis will end with a last chapter dedicated to the construction of future scenario which will aim at forecasting the potential international system in which one will be evolving in the coming future. |
