Theories

end of the territories : The reference of the international relations that is the territory is disappearing following three change: universalization, end of the cold war and the bipolarity which was based on the territories, and the crisis of the States (financing, independences of the central banks, end of the Welfare state). One thus observes the multiplication of spaces or the State does not intervene any more and or its control disappears (civil wars: Somalia, cities, Zones demilitarized as in Colombia).

the State imported It shows how the vision of the territorial order was imposed like vision of the State in particular during the decolonization.

the reversal of the world writes with Marie-Claude Smouts: it notes that the identities are increasingly cultural and less and less universal. The transnational relations are a particular mode of inscription in space and that the relations are built apart from national spaces and of their taking into account, But it is also the progressive negation of the capacity of control of the State and its legitimacy. Thus one observes the multiplication of spaces of references (Church, Mafias, allégences subnationales), which result in calling into question the allégence to the State.
