ABSTRACT
These changes have gone very largely unnoticed. There are two possible reasons why this has been so. Partly, they have crept up on us rather quickly in the last decade or so. And partly, many academics engaged in international relations, politics and history in these years have been absorbed and preoccupied with arguments about theory and methodology which have focused, far too exclusively, in my view, on the political and strategic relations between national governments, to the neglect of all else.
