  1. This really helps me with my understanding of "non-state actor", so thank you!
    Just one question, let's say a secessionist group in a state managed to get their independence from the related country (say California leave the US by force, FOR EXAMPLE) and managed to get their own functioning government but not recognised internationally, are they considered non-state actor?

  2. Wish you did mean those guys in Hollywood. Maybe they should shut it. Your term actors is scary because they are posing. They have stopped representing the regions to which they affiliate. They are purchased and put in office.

  3. The big supply chain with big trucks moving the earth into dangerous weather irregularities if not change would soon destroy crop and flood and multitude of disruption more damage than war

  4. Rule and goal should aim at making it affordable for all otherwise it dangerous. Reduce weapon program and reduce materials consumption is key to recovery because material depleted is because of military build up by big power like recent Chinese growth in arms trade is very damaging

  5. The big influences now are more of non-state like big corporation like energy sector, information and computing sector and cars truck corporation are most influence that determine the economy stratification could built or deplete livelihoods of million or billion of people

  6. I learn subject International Relations this semester and one of the topic I learn is Actors in IR….and my lecturer share this video with us…nice video and explanation sir! very clear your explanation and it really helps me to understand this topic…thank you sir!! I'll subscribe you…Love from Malaysia😁🇲🇾
