Part II: International Insecurity and the Use of Force in Darfur
The Media, the People, and Public Opinion
Transnational actors, interest groups, public opinion, and the media have monumentally
influenced the war in Darfur. These outlets have been instrumental in intervention,
disseminating information, while also keeping the public abreast of the current warfare in Darfur.
Categorically, transnational actors are organizations that work across national boundaries but
whose members are not states. Transnational actors are involved in almost every important issue
in the world. Additionally, transnational actors encompass transnational corporations, and
transnational advocacy networks. Transnational corporations pursue global strategies for
production, sales, research, and investment. Transnational advocacy networks also play a
growing role in international politics. Transnational advocacy networks or TAN are groups that
organize across national boundaries to pursue some political, social, or cultural goal (D’Anieri,
2014). An example of a transnational actor is the involvement of Human Rights Watch.
Humans Rights Watch is one of the world’s leading independent organizations dedicated to
defending and protecting human rights. By focusing international attention where human rights
are violated, they give voice to the oppressed and hold oppressors accountable for their crimes.
Their rigorous, objective investigations and strategic, targeted advocacy build intense pressure
for action and raise the cost of human rights abuse. Human Rights Watch has worked
tenaciously to lay the legal and moral groundwork for deep-rooted change and has fought to
bring greater justice and security to people around the world, including the citizens of Darfur
(hrw.org).
The role of interest groups is consistently emphasized in analyses of politics and policy.
Interest groups have a powerful stake in various aspects of foreign policy (D’Anieri, 2014).
