Abstract

Neoliberal institutionalism represents the fourth phase in the development of
the liberal institutionalism theory. Unlike the previous ones, at this stage
of development, theorists focus on international institutions as independent
actors in international relations, which are not only the means for the
states to realize their national interests, but also influence internal
policy in the countries. Ultimately, this leads to seeing the international
relations outside the realistic ?self-help principle? as ones defining the
behavior of states. The ambiguity in the further positioning of neoliberal
institutionalism is regarding the phenomenon of global governance. The global
governance is becoming reality. Because of this, states are often forced to
act beyond their particular interests, giving priority to solving problems
through international institutions. However, this largely does not happen due
to state decisions, but thanks to the activities of non-state actors.
Although the international politics stay state-centered, nongovernmental
organizations and multinational corporations have more influence in
overcoming anarchy through global governance and the establishment of rules
of the game in certain areas of life. For neoliberal institutionalism, this
presents somewhat a challenge. The development of the fourth phase of the
liberal institutionalism will depend on future explanations regarding the
relation to global governance.
