“Until scholars break out of the anachronistic international relations paradigm that takes nation-states as the core unit of analysis, they cannot begin to identify, integrate, and analyze global structures, systemic forces, and regulatory issues that operate both above and below the level of the nation-states.”
Note: Maps exclude country of origin for Research Assistants on the project and 41 participants with no data. Three participants excluded indicated a region instead of a country (“West Africa”). Based on RA reports and experience, the map above likely undercounts participants from the Balkans (especially Albania) and countries in the Middle East/North Africa.
