Abstract:

 

The current international system emerged in the aftermath of the  breakdown of the bipolar struc-ture. The new one cannot be explained in  terms of the previous system's parameters. The proliferation and variation of  the actors within the system; the increasing interdependency and complexity  of the mutual relations have all challenged and changed the traditional concepts  and explanations. These changes represent a challenge to the discipline of  international relations. What is required is not just the reconceptualization of  international politicsfrom a disciplinary perspective but also an interdisciplinary  approach integrating among others disciplines such as law, sociology, and  political science. The form and the content of the phenomena under study  have changed thus stimulated new debates. The concept of “threat” for  example no longer simply relates to the practices of violence between states;  as a conse-quence the concept of “security” can no longer be associated  exclusively with the military defense of the national territory  Ian 1999: 107-126 .  What could once be considered as a local threat has now become a global security issues. Among such issues are illegal arms transfers, organized  crime, and drug trafficking or illegal immigration. But terrorism has become  one of the most debated issues.
