The article analyzes the role of non-state actors in the modern system of international relations in the context of the processes of globalization and transformation of world politics. The thesis is substantiated about expanding the composition of participants in international processes beyond the borders of nation states, including international non-governmental organizations, transnational corporations, transnational networks, the media, as well as individual influential actors. It is shown that non-state actors have a significant impact on the formation of the international agenda, political decision-making processes, regulation of global problems and the development of multi-level governance mechanisms. Particular attention is paid to analyzing the forms and directions of interaction of non-state actors with states and intergovernmental organizations, as well as identifying the contradictory nature of their activities, combining elements of cooperation and competition. A conclusion is drawn about the trend of a steady increase in the role of non-state actors in world politics, which necessitates a revision of traditional theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of international relations and taking into account new forms of global political interaction.
