Abstract
International relations has traditionally focused on external relations between sovereign states. Yet not all important relations are between sovereign states and not all important politics is external. ‘What is international relations?’ explains that this VSI’s focus is on the global organization of political authority, and on the human and environmental consequences of such organization. This invites both analytical and ethical questions: how did political authority come to be organized in a particular way? How have large-scale ways of organizing political authority at times fostered human well-being, but also produced hierarchies and exclusions? What are the limits of sovereign authority, when should human rights be protected, and what obligations do we have to address the climate emergency?
