CELAC plans to have political dialogue with Russia and this includes cooperation with the African Union, ASEAN, BRICS groups, and among others (CELAC, 2014). This past summer China was welcome to the CELAC forum in order to strengthen their relations, between China and CELAC countries (CELAC Costa Rica, 2014). Sooner than later China was going to pass the United States as the leading country of the world, and this fall/winter it was finally official happening, according to IMF (2014).

    Foreign policy shifts depending on the economic and military value to the Chinese government. China is striving to obtain power and to become a great world power and a regional hegemon. The fact that China has grown so rapidly has enhanced the country’s foreign policy goals in some cases, but in other cases, China’s growth has threatened its goals. Chinese foreign policy in Asia is largely shaped not only by China’s military power, but also by China’s economic power. Economic power is exceedingly important in diplomatic relationships: Chinese officials regularly use free trade agreements, trade-facilitation agreements, and non-binding bilateral trade targets to leverage access to China’s market as a diplomatic tool in bilateral relations.…

    In 1794, Macartney proposed the famous “Macartney Mission”, and was rejected by Qianlong Emperor. It is because that China had totally different understanding of its diplomatic status from what the Macartney thought, and China was self-sufficient and thus not willing to expand import. However, some claimed that it was China’s “isolation” that resulted in the rejection. From my perspective, the idea that China was “isolated” was not totally correct. Instead, the East Asian was actively involved in trading, embraced scientific ideas, and accepted different culture.…

    Section 1: Identification and Evaluation of Main Source The U.S. has had major impacts on different countries around the world including China, Iraq, and Afghanistan. In 1899, the United States created a policy called The Open Door Policy, which allowed the U.S., and other foreign countries, to freely trade with the country of China. This policy was composed of two sets of notes and was created by President McKinley’s Secretary of State, John Hay. With the help of an American diplomat named William Rockhill, John Hay was able to create a policy that allowed “for the protection of equal privileges among nations trading with China and in support of Chinese territorial and administrative integrity” (Open Door Policy {1899/1900}). Hay would later…

    I woke up on the cushioned beach chair, gazing across the seemingly endless magical, blue aura of the ocean. As far as I could see, glistening sand stretched across the water, as the magnificent, jagged rock structures that watched over the Pacific Ocean like birds over their prey. Just two hours outside of San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, golf courses, resorts and beaches lined the entire peninsula. The luxurious resorts boasted private beaches and exclusive accommodations along the picturesque coastline of Peninsula Papagayo. Any accommodations you could possibly imagine would be provided immediately by the professionally trained wait staff.…

    The relationship between the United States and China will perhaps shape international order more than any other phenomenon. One could argue, though, that competition between the US and China is most acute in the physical space of the Asia-Pacific region. Even though the US has been the transcendent power there for as far back as seven decades now, it is still China's lawn and, going back hundreds of years, the center of its worldview. The South China Sea emerges as a significant chronicle for three sets of interactions: those between the US and China, China and its neighbors, and…

It reduces the quality of working life, jeopardizes the well-being of both working men and women, and imposes costs on firms and organizations.

Since sexual harassment in the workplace pollutes the working environment and can have a devastating effect upon the health, confidence, morale and performance…

    The Oxford Dictionary online (2016) defines international relations as “the way in which two or more nations interact with and regard each other, especially in the context of political, economic, or cultural relationships”. However, what to include and exclude in the definition is a controversial topic and there is still no decisive answer of what international relations means. Scholars have been suggesting various definitions, for instance, one source stated that International Relations (i.e. the study of international relations, referred to as IR) is defined as “the study of interactions among the various actors that participate in international politics including states, international organizations…and individuals” (Mingst et al. 2014: 2)…
