Background
Overview
UPSC examines the role of non-state actors in international relations, their impact on state sovereignty, regional security, and the complexities they introduce into peace processes and international law, especially in conflict zones.
Non-state actors (NSAs) are organizations or individuals not formally associated with a government but significantly influence international affairs. They include NGOs, multinational corporations, and armed groups like Hezbollah, challenging traditional state-centric diplomacy and impacting global security and governance.
