SANCHEZ MUGICA, Alfonso. International Relations in the Third Decade of the 21st Century: New Theoretical and Epistemological Challenges. CONfines relacion. internaci. ciencia política [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.36, pp.11-23.  Epub 03-Mayo-2024. ISSN 1870-3569.  https://doi.org/10.46530/cf.vi36/cnfns.n36.p11-23.

International Relations is a science that currently enjoys great dynamism in many parts of the world, largely due to different political and social changes typical of the early years of a new decade, in this case, the third decade of the 21st century. However, it faces challenges of a disciplinary nature, especially regarding its theoretical and methodological frameworks and structures. The loss of the Anglo-Saxon centrality is now accompanied by the appearance of new theoretical paradigms, a strong post-positivism, and first-hand epistemological elements that require the opening of a broader and more plural dialogue among specialists from all over the world. Some components of this debate should address non-Western contributions, the question of how globalization is understood as well as new interdisciplinary approaches such as those concerning the paradigm of complexity.

Palabras llave : the fourth great debate; globalization; complexity; IR epistemology; interdisciplinary studies.
