CEVAP:

In 1970s, a new paradigm debate emerged in IR. This debate was a contention between state-centrism and transnationalism/non-state centrism. Transnationalism as a new paradigm was encouraged by the developments such as emergence of new actors and state-centric approach lost its attractiveness. At the same time, new international structure demonstrated that old fashion approaches couldn’t help to understand and explain new developments. In this framework, the writers such as Joseph S. Nye, Robert O. Keohane, Richard W. Mansbach and John A. Vasques who agreed with the description of David Easten for politics as authoritative allocation of values; claimed the necessity of changes in the statecentric paradigm. Henceforth, it is obvious that in the field of IR, the number of actors increased and differentiated extending from individual to the larger international social organizations. Political decisions are made and implemented in a very complex structure and sophisticated mechanism (Dougherty and Pfaltzgraff, 1990: 539).
