United States and China are not heading toward a rivalry similar to the United States-Soviet conflict during the 20th century. This can be explained using the three levels of analysis in international relations: system, unit and individual respectively. Firstly, the system level of analysis, the international system is defined by anarchy—the absence of a central authority (Waltz). United States and the Soviet Union were sovereign and thus were autonomous to each other. The Cold War in the…

The purpose of this paper is to examine Robert Gilpin’s, The Politics of Transnational Economic Relations as well as Robert Cox’s, Gramsci and International Relations Theory: an essay in method. Gilpin’s theory that transnational actors and processes are dependent upon specific patterns of inter-sate relations (Gilpin, 1971, p.404) will be compared and contrasted with Robert Cox’s understanding of Gramsci’s hegemony and how it may be adopted to understand problems of world order. Gramsci’s…

I think Wikipedia actually has a decent article on progressive nationalism. It summarizes it as thus: "Left-wing nationalism describes a form of nationalism officially based upon equality, popular sovereignty, and national self-determination. It has its origins in the Jacobinism of the French Revolution. Left-wing nationalism typically espouses anti-imperialism. It stands in contrast to right-wing nationalism, and has often rejected racist nationalism and fascism." That seems like a pretty…

The Ra’s perform research to their dissertation. The proctors are the ones that perform different duties for the University. Since the three jobs meet the common law test that the…

Schmidtz and Cohen stand at two almost diametrically opposed positions of equality. Schmidtz argues for an equality of treatment, while Cohen argues for an equality of opportunity. Schmidtz’s argument for equality of treatment implies that everyone should be treated the same, even if that treatment will result in others not being well off (Schmidtz 114). Cohen, on the other hand, argues that everyone should be treated the same in regards to improving society Cohen’s argument addresses three…

clearer way for the reader. I feel like I argued my contentions in my body paragraphs (pre-, during, and post-genocide policy guidelines) best. I felt most comfortable writing those parts as the language and process of explaining an international relations policy recommendation is fairly familiar to me. I worry that I made my argument regarding implications of human rights theory on the responsibility to protect in an unclear way. I feel like it’s almost shoehorned into the rest of my paper,…

Humanity tends to be going towards equality, even though there is a myriad number of differences between us, but we are actually heading toward it, however equality is a strong word with a vast number of meanings and most of us tends to consider it from his/her own perspective, as we know there is two types of equality (Formal and Substantive) we already have formal quality (which is advantageous) but we need more -but specific quantity of- substantive equality to fill up the holes which the…

decisions based on this need for power. Furthermore this need for power allows one to analyze a choice a state has made or will make in the future. Morgenthau’s post World War II take on classical realism shaped the realist approach for international relations for future…

This war was an ideological war and it was ideas of free-market capitalism which…
