This paper aims to examine the subjects which are pertaining to International Relations in the
works of Anthony Giddens and also to evaluate different uses of such issues in the International
Relations literature. As one of the prominent social theorists of the 20th century, Giddens had
significant influence on International Relations in terms of his structuration theory, modernity
and nation-state approach and his views on globalization. The article is organized in four parts.
In the first part, Anthony Giddens’ structuration theory is examined. In the second part, Giddens’
historical and theoretical interpretations on modernity, nation-states and the relations among
nation-states are scrutinized. The third part is about the globalization approach of Giddens. In
the fourth part, the use of Giddens’ contributions with regard to International Relations studies
are evaluated.
