How is international politics changing due to economic globalization? The subject for this special feature is to capture such changes in a multidimensional fashion, and find a theoretical framework for their analysis. In the process of globalization, there is an extremely complex relationship between politics and economics, and a variety of phenomena are occurring. Even the definition of globalization is not settled, and there are various competing definitions. Therefore, it is not easy to constructively discuss the relationship between the global economy and international politics.First of all, this paper reviews previous research on globalization, and reconfirms key topics of interest and methods of analysis. In terms of research in the field of international relations, comprehensive analysis of globalization began first in Europe, and then later, more specific hypotheses were sought out in the US. The topic of globalization is contentious, with many different hypotheses regarding many points of controversy. Even so, there is a thread of commonality running through much of the research. That is, the various studies look at changes in nations and international regimes, and attempt to specify the nature of those changes.They also try to examine social changes from that perspective. As a result, many studies suggest that globalization means “societal denationalization”, and regard “methodological nationalism” in international relations theory as a problem.Second, this paper reconfirms the state of the post-war international system, and the nature of its disturbances. That is, many researchers of international relations regard globalization as a problem because the postwar international system has been disturbed. The post-war international system has been based on multilateralism and international regimes as “embedded liberalism.” Globalization has been achieved because this international system has stabilized international relationships. However, as globalization progressed, social stability was shaken, and legalization in international regimes became even more necessary. Therefore the social backlash intensified, and international regime is exhibiting a tendency toward “dis-embeddedness.” The social backlash is also directed at previous multilateralism. As can be seen from the above developments, politics and economics interact in the process of globalization. Furthermore, “globalization” is thought to act as a discourse between the two. Globalization must be analyzed with a clear understanding of such relationships.Third, this paper classifies the various essays comprising this special feature from the perspective of the current state of nations and international regimes. A number of essays analyze the situation whereby the role of government is shrinking, while the role of corporations and NGOs is on the rise. In the process, they develop discussions different from previous work based on recent research. Also, a number of essays present new findings regarding the conditions of the regime complex and the impact of the US and developing countries with regard to international regimes in fields such as trade, development and biological resources. In the future, there will likely be even more stimulating discussions about the global economy and international politics.
