Emerging Forms of Transnational Community; The Web of World Politics: Nonstate Actors in the Global System

Mansbach and others cover the activities of a wider range of "nonstate" entities (such as terrorist groups, labor organizations, individual newspapers). Both books use substantial and sometimes new data to support their interpretations; both are readable and more daring than most quantitative studies.
