Global Society covers the new agenda in global and international relations and encourages innovative approaches to the study of global and international issues from a range of disciplines. It promotes the analysis of transactions at multiple levels, and in particular, the way in which these transactions blur the distinction between the sub-national, national, transnational, international and global levels.

An ever integrating global society raises a number of issues for global and international relations which do not fit comfortably within established ‘Paradigms' Among these are the international and global consequences of nationalism and struggles for identity, migration, racism, religious fundamentalism, terrorism and criminal activities, famines, genocides, the spread of contagious disease and pestilence, and environmental degradation. Similarly, the globalisation of normative superstructures, such as of liberal capitalism, or of communications, such as the Internet, influences transactions at all levels and challenges state controls, for instance overflows of capital and of information.

Global Society therefore, promotes the analysis of the internationalisation and globalisation of various levels of social interaction from a multitude of disciplines, including international relations, political science, political philosophy, international political economy, international law, international conflict analysis and sociology.

Global Society is published by Routledge on behalf of the University of Kent at Canterbury.
