Non-state Actor
Non-state actors (NSA) are entities that (i) participate or act in international relations; organizations with sufficient power to influence and cause politics change that do not belong to an established institution of a state.
The admission of non-state actors into international relations theory rebukes the assumptions of realism and other black box theories of international relations, which argue that interactions between states are the main relationships of interest in studying international events.

Famous quotes containing the word actor:
“Once the curtain is raised, the actor ceases to belong to himself. He belongs to his character, to his author, to his public. He must do the impossible to identify himself with the first, not to betray the second, and not to disappoint the third.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
