| Summary/Abstract |
Like Alice, speaking out loud as she seeks to figure out the jarring changes in her physical stature and make sense of her new environment in Lewis Carroll's classic literary work Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, so too are international relations (IR) scholars and observers trying to comprehend recent and ongoing changes in the global political order. I concur with Paul (2017, 2) that we are living in “a time of major changes in world politics. These are driven by, among other things, the rise of new powers, deepened economic globalization, and the emergence of violent transnational forces.”
