THE INDIVIDUAL IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE PARADIGM

Abstract

The article raises a whole complex of issues about the growing role of the individual in international relations. An individual in international relations is studied from the position of leaders and the political elites surrounding them, a mass person, a person as a stochastic factor in international relations, human qualities, self-identification, belonging to a particular socio-anthropological group, psychological and physical condition and much more. Due to the specificity of this new actor, it is proposed to develop a new discipline which is called anthropology of international relations. Some aspects of the institutionalization of this discipline are also analyzed by the author.
