The Internationalization of Domestic Affairs

Harlan Cleveland

The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 1979, vol. 442, issue 1, 125-137

Abstract: The content of "international affairs" is now mostly the "internal affairs" of still sovereign nations. The imperatives that drive this internationalization of domestic affairs are political, economic, environmental, technological and moral. Nongovernmental people and organizations have a comparative advantage in penetrating the porous membranes of national sovereignty. The governance of a world with nobody in charge seems to require nonresponsible people who anticipate problems that responsible governments will later have to tackle.
