Definition
- The Vatican, the central governing body of the Roman Catholic Church, is probably the most ancient player on the global political and cultural scene. Also known in international law as the Holy See or the Papacy, the Vatican plays the role of a transnational authority, which can be explained by several factors: its history of creating transnational institutions, its authority over the largest religious community in the world, and its worldwide political activities.
