We are living in a shrinking world. This is the age of faster communication and transportation. It is easier to transport ideas, technological developments, daily event<; and financial means with a tremendous speed. Although only a small percent of the world population are the beneficiaries of the latest technological possibiIities, the worldwide developments effect all the members of humankind. One of the results of globalism is an increase in the gap between hayes and have-nots. Not only the faster communication and transportation means are developing but, income gaps, social conflicts, destructive weapons and local wars are also rising. Above all, the world population grew in large numbers. At the threshold of the new millennium, all the se developments together with the pressure of the new wave of globalism question the role of the classical actors of international relations. As a result of conflicting themes of the new world (dis)order and the conflictual affects of the globalisation, the humankind faces major challenges interposed with these reverse trends.
