Declining or Waning

Papers concentrating exclusively on economic development without a broader context of governance and political dynamics have become less prevalent, as the interconnectedness of political and economic factors gains recognition. - Static Analyses of International Treaties:
Research centered on static analyses of treaties and agreements has waned, giving way to more dynamic studies that consider the evolving nature of international commitments and compliance. - Unilateralism in International Politics:
