    The rise of neoliberal ideologies which began in the mid-to late 20th century around the globe due to the allure and rapid growth of globalization has resulted in a change in the welfare state of developed nations such as Canada. This has signified a drastic change from the Keynesian period of the early 20th century in which government intervention was seen as a way to create the conditions for full-employment which was thought to help the economy. The result of the adoption of neoliberal policy is a deterioration of the standard employment relationship and forms of non-standard employment becoming more common. Prevalence of non-standard forms of work such as part-time, temporary work can be attributed to the fact that employers have the freedom and incentive to be more flexible and cut costs whilst achieving growth. Free trade agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement have made it easier for countries to trade goods and services however this freedom of trade has also acted as a catalyst for companies to shift employment to developing or third-world countries such as Mexico in which labour and the cost of producing materials is substantially cheaper.…

    Egalitarianism is the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities. It has been considered a key aspect of Australian national identity and often referred to as a ‘fair go’. This essay will argue that the idea of the ‘fair go’, while deeply set in Australian national identity, is more an ‘egalitarianism of manners’ (Hirst in Carter 2006, p. 360) than of outcomes. As Australia’s understanding of what egalitarian means has broadened, the idea that Australia is still egalitarian is only true to a limited extent.…

    Cooperation has been attempted, but a resolution has yet to be found. The South China Sea issue provides a perfect example of a security dilemma which has arisen as a result of defensive realist motivations taken on by the East Asian states. Defense realism takes a dip away from realism’s central concern with power and shifts it slightly to focus on security. Unlike offensive realists, defensive realists believe that there is fault in having both limited and excessive power. Limited power leaves a state open to possible subjugation, while excessive power risks inciting a balance of power tirade.…

    The relationship between the United States and China will perhaps shape international order more than any other phenomenon.

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…

    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)…
