Elnar Schacker is a political scientist and international relations theorist whose work explores the philosophical foundations of global politics, the future of state sovereignty, and the growing influence of transnational corporations.

His research examines how emerging powers, technological disruption, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction are reshaping the international system. He is particularly interested in scenarios beyond the nation‑state — where corporate actors and new forms of governance may define the next era of world order.
