James Rosenau

James Rosenau was a prominent political scientist known for his work on international relations and global politics. He introduced the concept of "fragmegration," describing how nations are simultaneously pulling apart and coming together, creating complex, overlapping networks of cooperation and conflict. Rosenau emphasized the importance of understanding how multiple actors—states, organizations, and individuals—interact in a highly interconnected world. His ideas help explain the unpredictable and dynamic nature of global affairs today, highlighting that international relations are shaped by both stability and change, driven by a multitude of factors beyond traditional state-centric views.
