Abstract

Understanding the nature of international relations today by looking at traditional geopolitical maps and absorbing strategic reflections only, is insufficient. Societies are bursting into areas once reserved only for diplomacy. The 1980s ICT (Information and Communication Technology) boom played a fundamental role in transforming even social behavior. It was the real factor of globalization that lastingly revolutionized the planet. This chapter first examines this invisible revolution of societies and nation-states and how the social took over key geostrategic considerations. The author questions the two globalizations and the revenge of the local, and finally opens the debate on what a new sociology of international relations may be.
