Contribution
The basis of the scientific interests of J. Rosenau are questions of the dynamics of world political processes, problems of rapprochement of domestic and foreign policies of states [4] .
In his works, J. Rosenau notes the cardinal changes that have taken place in the last decade in world politics. Their essence is to reduce the role of the state as the main actor in international relations, which ceases to be the main actor. This place is given by the state to specific persons entering into relations with each other. An international continuum is being formed, the subjects of which, as J. Rosenau figuratively puts it, are a tourist and a terrorist [5] . Among the main international actors, J. Rosenau includes states, subsystems (for example, local administration), transnational organizations , cohorts (for example, ethnic groups), movements [6] .
The professor notes the "two-layer" world politics. On the one hand, the field of interstate relations remains. On the other hand, a field is formed in which the main participants are non-state participants, or “actors outside sovereignty ”, which demonstrate influence comparable to the influence of traditional (state) actors [7] . Such changes allow the professor to talk about "post-international politics" , within which contacts between actors and structures are carried out in a new way, within the framework of the relations "the traditional world of interstate interactions - the second, polycentric world" [8] .
In his studies, J. Rosenau also draws attention to the problem of globalization , analyzing the differences between the content of this concept and the meaning of terms that are close to it - globalism , universalism , and complex interdependence. In his opinion, globalization is characterized, first of all, by the absence of any territorial and legal barriers, has the ability to easily overcome any state borders and affect any social community [9] .
