The transformation of the international system is explored in depth in National Role Conceptions in a New Millennium, a comprehensive examination of the role conceptions adopted by various global actors. This groundbreaking work in International Relations advances the field by delving into the question of how international actors are responding to the reordering of the global system. Contributors to the book reflect on the rise of new actors and the rekindling of old rivalries, the decline of established norms, and the unleashing of internal political forces such as nationalism and parochialism. They argue that changes in the international system have a profound impact on how states define their roles and engage in both domestic and international role contests.

Furthermore, the book examines the redefinition of roles of countries and the international organizations that have been central to the US and Western-dominated world order, including major powers such as the United States, Russia, China, Britain, and the European Union, NATO, and ASEAN. By focusing on international organizations, this text extends the scope of role theory beyond its traditional subjects of state actors to explore how roles are contested in non-state actors.

National Role Conceptions in a New Millennium is a groundbreaking work that offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of the international system. It is ideal for those teaching and studying both theory and method in international relations and foreign policy analysis, providing a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the changing roles of nations and the organizations that shape their interactions.
