Understanding the role of state and non-state actors in the global system is contingent upon a comprehensive analysis of the system through historical perspective. To do so, one, first, needs to conceive the emergence and development of the state-centric system. The phenomenon of state emerged in the seventeenth century with the collapse of imperial powers. Nation-states have played a dominant role in the world politics for about three hundred years. However, with the increased impacts of globalization processes, the power of the nation-state have begun to decline and, eventually, it has been forced to share its power with emerging entities. These new actors of the global system include a variety of units ranging from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to inter-governmental organizations (IGOs). This paper discusses underlying factors of declining role of nation-state in the international system in the context of new emerging powers of non-state actors
