Freedom of expression
Islam grants total intellectual freedom and stresses the principle of freedom. It strictly forbids people being forced to adopt a certain creed or religion. The freedoms granted in Islam include freedom of belief, thought, speech, and the freedom to criticize. This principle of freedom in Islam was revealed directly and did not develop gradually over time. Freedom of expression is guaranteed in Islam except it does not include freedom of insult, defamation, or slander, and religion, honor, and dignity should not be disrespected.

Reasons the Cold War ended - USSR defeat in Afghanistan
The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 marked the end of détente between the USSR and USA and plunged the countries further into the Cold War. The Soviets struggled to defeat the Mujahedeen rebels due to their use of guerilla warfare and weapons provided secretly by the US. Over 14,000 Soviet troops died and hundreds of aircraft were destroyed. This drain on resources and blow to national pride, on top of economic troubles, contributed to Gorbachev's decision to withdraw from Afghanistan in 1989, signaling a end to the Cold War.

Eisenhower Foreign Policy
The document outlines key foreign policy events and strategies during the Eisenhower administration, referred to as "The New Look". It focused on deterring communist expansion through threats of "massive retaliation" using nuclear weapons. This included building up nuclear arsenals and policies like mutual assured destruction. The administration was concerned about the spread of communism in Southeast Asia and used strategies like the Domino Theory and Eisenhower Doctrine to contain it. Several covert CIA operations were also conducted to overthrow communist governments.
Realism v Liberalism
This document provides an overview and critique of realism and liberalism as international relations theories. It notes that realism views states as rational actors seeking power and security, with a competitive human nature. Realism is criticized for ignoring non-state actors and non-military forces. Liberalism emphasizes interaction between states and other actors as leading to a more cooperative world, but is critiqued for downplaying the importance of wars and reducing predictability. The document concludes by framing an evaluation of structural realism and liberalism, suggesting strengths and weaknesses be weighed with supporting evidence.
Cold war conflicts
The Cold War was a non-military conflict between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945-1990 that led to proxy wars around the world. The ideological struggle pitted capitalist democracies led by the US against communist totalitarian states within the Soviet bloc. Both sides aimed to spread their influence and contain the other through espionage, arms buildup including nuclear weapons, and involvement in conflicts in countries not directly allied with either power. Major events included the Berlin Blockade, Korean War, Cuban Missile Crisis, and Vietnam War.
Armed Conflicts In Africa
Armed conflicts in Africa over the past 15 years have cost nearly $300 billion that could have been used to alleviate poverty and improve health and education. Ongoing conflicts have led to increased infant mortality, malnutrition, illiteracy, and decreased life expectancy and access to healthcare. Child soldiers have been involved in 21 ongoing armed conflicts worldwide, especially in Africa, where children as young as 9 have fought and been forced to commit atrocities against their own communities. Efforts to curb the use of child soldiers include international agreements and demobilization programs, but more funding is needed for effective, long-term reintegration support.
C6 - Foreign Policy
Foreign policy refers to the strategies used by governments to guide their actions internationally and achieve certain goals. It spells out objectives and tactics. The key goals of foreign policy include security, autonomy, welfare, and status. Security involves choices around isolation, alliances, and contracting out. Autonomy means withstanding outside influence. Welfare relates to trade strategies like free trade and economic coalitions. Status concerns a country's prestige internationally. Other goals can include protecting ethnic or religious groups abroad or visions of reshaping the global order.
Structuralism
This document discusses world system theory and its key concepts. World system theory sees the global economy as consisting of three parts: the core developed countries, the semi-periphery developing countries, and the periphery underdeveloped countries. It argues that the structure of the global economy is unjust and that conflict arises from class struggles within this economic system. The theory provides an important critique of realism and liberalism by highlighting the connection between politics and economics and the conflictual nature of the global economy.

Nation state system
The document discusses the nation state system. It begins by arguing that nation states and their willingness to obey governments have enabled international relations.

The document then defines the nation state system according to Palmer and discusses how sovereign nation states interact to protect national interests. It traces the origin of the nation state system to the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia, which recognized state sovereignty. Key elements of the modern nation state are discussed as sovereignty, territorial integrity, and legal equality. However, the nation state system faces setbacks from factors like growing interdependence, regional integration, nuclear weapons, and the roles of public opinion and mult
