global politics
World power dynamics
Global politics refers to the interactions among nations, international organizations, and other actors on the world stage—diplomacy, trade agreements, military alliances, and conflicts that cross borders.
The term encompasses both formal relations between governments and broader patterns of power, influence, and cooperation: Global politics shifted dramatically after the Cold War.
Distinguished from domestic politics by its scale and the absence of a single governing authority.
