Canada’s experience as an international relative has been a brief and recent development compared to many other countries. Due to the heroic efforts done in part by Canadian soldiers in World War One, Canada was gifted the statue of Westminster. This gift signaled the end of British primacy to our foreign policy, and crafted Canada’s foreign strategy that has been known around the world for many decades. Canada’s role in World War two to help aid in the fight of Nazism and Fascism played a…

The United States ranks first with a GDP of 16.2 trillion dollars, with China at second with 8.2 trillion dollars (Greenberg and Page, 572).

Having something essential to offer to the table, America can establish alliances and maintain…

renaissances to come to promote coexistence of all societies. It became institutional post World War II as world powers looked to work together under reason d’etat which according to historian Frederich Meinecke is “the fundamental principle of international conflict, the state 's first law of motion “It tells the statesman what he must do to preserve health and strength of the state (1957:1)” (Dunne, Schmidt, 2014, p.100).

Although many scholars hare the idea that Asian Giants will continue to grow at high growth rate, like Justin (2016) and Pradeep (2015), let alone similar claim from World Bank, Pritchett and Summers do not agree with Asiaphoria and…

The field of international politics is a vastly complex field that can be difficult to interpret and make sense of. There is no supreme governing power, only sovereign states. Theories can be used as a sort of lens to find patterns in the behavior of states and determine how likely cooperation is in the international system. In this essay, I will be presenting the Neorealist argument that states are self-interested actors concerned with security and survival, and the Neoliberal Institutionalist…

Michel Foucault is considered one of the leading theorists in the subject of "discourse", he believes that "in every society the production of discourse is at once controlled, selected, organized and redistributed by a certain number of procedures whose role is to ward off its powers and dangers, to gain mastery over its chance events, to evade its ponderous, formidable materiality." (Foucault, 52) Accordingly, Edward Said has used Foucault's concept of discourse to analyze Orientalism; in "The…

From the works of Thucydides, realism was created and has become a major paradigm in international politics.

The state is an essential component of realism and it is the foundation for many of the central assumptions coming…

The typical example of mutual deterrence would be the situation during the Cold War where the U.S and the Soviet Union tried to avoid a hot war throughout the world because of fearing the possible threatening…

offensive-minded neorealists argued that power maximization by great powers is unavoidable. This view is best represented by Mearsheimer’s (2014) book The tragedy of Great Power Politics. Arguing for great powers’ ambition to seek regional and international hegemony, the book argues that balancing behaviors of existing great powers against rising great powers which try to translate latent (in the original use, economic power, and population size largely) power to military power, may lead to…
