    An actor on the international stage is any entity that can influence the actions of others globally. Actors include states like the US, Russia, and India; state-linked organizations like the CIA and FBI; transnational corporations like McDonald's and Nike; non-governmental organizations like Greenpeace; terrorist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda; and influential individuals like Nelson Mandela and Malala Yousufzai. State actors are countries, and non-state actors are any other entities that influence global affairs but are not official states.

    Let’s first understand who an ‘actor’ is on the International stage.

    Actor:
    An ‘actor’ is basically anybody who has the ability to influence the actions of other similar actors
    at the global level. By this definition, an actor can be a state, it can be an organization, and it can
    be an individual.

    State Actors:
    State actors are very simple governments. These are the countries who form the major actors on
    the world stage. The US, Russia, India, France, Australia, Japan etc. are all state actors.
    Organizations within states that have global influence like the CIA, FBI, and so on are also
    looked upon as state actors because most of their actions are taken with some form of approval
    from the state.

    Non State Actors:


    Non-State actors are very simply, any actor on the world stage that is not a country.

    1- These can be Transnational Corporations (TNCs) like McDonald’s, Nike, Samsung,


    Sony, and so on that have global reach.
    2- Non-state actors can include organizations like NGOs, charitable organizations,
    environmental organizations (like Greenpeace).
    3- Non-state actors are also inclusive of terrorist and belligerent actors like ISIS, Al Qaeda,
    Boko Haram and so on.
    4- And finally, they also include individuals who have global influence, like, Nelson
    Mandela (before becoming a state actor) and Malala Yousufzai.
