Abstract

For some decades, international relations have experienced challenges from non-state actors (non-governmental organizations, international organizations, multinational companies or terrorist groups), which have succeeded in undermining the traditional dominance of States in international affairs. Unlike the nationstates, these new actors are not subject to the same parameters or limitations as the states, which has provided them with a broader margin to develop and promote their interests in the international arena and even within the state companies. The absence of these restrictions, added to their growing capacities and resources, has allowed many of these non-state actors to acquire a significant degree of power to influence the internal politics of States. This, in turn, has turned them into tools of other States, which have managed to circumvent the concept of non-intervention through these actors.
