This article tries to answer how the studies of MNCs-INGOs consolidated in the discipline of international relations. By using library research method and qualitative data analysis, it is found that the studies of MNCs-INGOs are possible and urgent to be developed in the international relations discipline. The importance of this study based on the fact that both MNCs and INGOs have developed as private transnational actors massively. The possibility to be independent study of IR is provided by the discource of internationalism. Moreover, if the comprehensive research is conducted it can be understood the transformation of not just only in the level of discource of the internationalism, but also on the exploration of the strategy and the governance of the MNCs-INGOs globally.

A µ negative metamaterial using spiral resonator (SR) with an electromagnetically coupled (EMC) feeding system is proposed as a novel antenna structure. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on a FR4 dielectric substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm and relative permittivity of 4.0 to achieve its radiation characteristic. The antenna is operated at frequency 2.4 GHz. To improve the antenna gain, a matching circuit is inserted into the feed line. The µ negative metamaterial is achieved by using a spiral resonator with spiral numbers N = 3, 5, 7, and 10. It is found that the negative imaginary part tends to shift leftward as the value of N increases. The simulation result of the proposed antenna structure with spiral number N = 3, strip width w = 3.1 mm, and gap width s = 0.5 mm provides the best performance with S 11 = −15 dB, VSWR < 2 bandwidth of 30 MHz and gain of -0.5 dB at frequency of 2.43 GHz. The proposed antenna with matching circuit provides the antenna gain of 2.21 dB, which is better than that without the matching circuit. The dimensions of the proposed antenna are reduced by 53% compared with those of the conventional patch. Both the simulation and measurement results of the radiation characteristics of the proposed antenna show good agreement.
