To appreciate the functioning of the economy, one needs to analyze the behavior of each economic agent or individual. Understanding of each individual decision making process is essential in unravelling the mystery surrounding the success or failure of an economy.

deliberate efforts of individuals. Rosenau (1992) uses the nongovernmental organization Amnesty International to illustrate these efforts. An Amnesty International researcher working on a specific torture case is not intentionally contributing to global order.

In the past 70 years there has been tremendous growth and prosperity for developed nations, however this has not been true for all nations.

The neoliberal and opposing arguments for industrial policy,…

International relations study the behaviors and interactions among various actors in forming international political processes. Theories are developed to better understand the events that occur in international relations every day in order to answer the questions in this area.
