ABSTRACT

It is an era of globalization, and attendant upon globalization, global issues have become an important background and variable for contemporary human society. Global issues have transcended the state-centric political and social space, penetrating the global scope and affecting daily human life. Security issues are among the top political agenda of global issues, as revealed in the ancient Chinese saying “The art of war is of vital importance to the State. Since the 1960s, global issues have come to the fore, so themes in international relations have begun to shift from war and revolution of the past to contemporary peace and development, and cooperative politics has risen to the occasion. However, the dominant state actors are part of contemporary international relations. With the adjustments of international relations and the rise of global issues, state actors are faced with the imminent challenge of emerging non-state actors, such as international organizations and transnational corporations.
