This document discusses the concept of levels of analysis, which provides possible explanations for "why" questions. It outlines four levels: individual, domestic, interstate, and global. The individual level focuses on how great leaders influence history. The domestic level examines a society's dominant culture, ethnicity, religion, and economic development, as well as the type and stability of its government. The interstate level analyzes how states interact and their relative power. Finally, the global level considers trends and forces that transcend state interactions, such as technological change and wealth gaps between nations.

1 introduction to international relations
This document provides an introduction to the field of international relations. It discusses what international relations concerns, which is the relationships among the world's governments. It also explores what career paths one could pursue by studying international relations. The document outlines the four sets of relations within the sphere of international relations: relations between states, relations between societies, state-society relations within countries, and state-society relations across borders. It then discusses three core principles of international relations - dominance, reciprocity, and identity - and how they relate to solving collective action problems between groups.
Liberalism in International Relations
A powerpoint presentation covering the basic principles of Liberalism in International Relations/Global Politics
Lecture1. Realism and Liberalism
This document provides an overview of realism and liberalism as major international relations theories. It discusses key thinkers and principles of political realism such as Hans Morgenthau, E.H. Carr, and Reinhold Niebuhr. Realism focuses on the state as the key actor and priorities of survival and self-help under conditions of anarchy. It also discusses structural realism and the differences between defensive and offensive structural realism. The document then discusses liberalism, highlighting Immanuel Kant's idea of a federation of free states and Richard Cobden's views on free trade promoting peace. It provides a four-fold definition of liberalism and discusses how its principles can be applied to international relations.
Power in ir
This document discusses different perspectives on the concept of power in international relations. It begins by defining power as a state's ability to influence or control other states. It then outlines two main traditions for analyzing power: the national power approach, which equates power with material resources, and the relational power approach, which sees power as the ability to influence another's behavior. The document also discusses various theorists' perspectives on power, including Joseph Nye's concepts of hard, soft, and smart power, and rules for analyzing power put forth by William Wohlforth.

Foreign policy analysis
The document discusses foreign policy analysis at different levels. It examines the influence of the executive branch on foreign policy due to constitutional provisions, the need for a single voice abroad, and the executive's control. Legislative power comes from budgeting authority. Courts can influence foreign policy issues they are involved in. Foreign policy analysis also occurs at the state, bureaucracy, small group, and individual levels. Approaches to analyzing individuals include theories of unmotivated bias from simplification/categorization and motivated bias from psychological/emotional needs.

Foreign policy is how a state interacts with other states and international actors. It is influenced by both internal factors like a country's geography, leadership, and public opinion, as well as external factors like the international system and other states. The foreign policy process involves decision making, which can follow rational, organizational, or bargaining models. Individual leaders and groups also influence decisions through psychological biases or pursuing their interests. A country's diplomats, interest groups, public, military, and legislature all shape its foreign policy choices.

Neorealism in International Relations
Neorealism, also called structural realism, argues that the international system influences state behavior based primarily on the distribution of power. It views states as acting to maximize their security in an anarchic system, which leads them to engage in a self-help balance of power. The theory was first established by Kenneth Waltz in his 1979 book Theory of International Politics, departing from classical realism by arguing that the structure of the international system, not human nature, determines state actions.

Balance of power by md sharif hussain
The document discusses the concept of balance of power in international relations. It defines balance of power as a distribution of power among states that prevents any one state from becoming too powerful. It operates through alliances, military buildups, and dividing powerful states. Balance of power is seen as important by some scholars but faces criticism for being uncertain and accepting war. Soft power, regional agreements, and economic ties are now also part of maintaining balances of power.

Kenneth N. Waltz
Kenneth N. Waltz was an American political scientist who was a member of the faculty at both the University of California, Berkeley and Columbia University and one of the most prominent scholars in the field of international relations. He was a veteran of both World War II and the Korean War.
Waltz was a founder of neorealism, or structural realism, in international relations theory. Waltz's theories have been extensively debated within the field of international relations. In 1981, Waltz published a monograph arguing that in some cases the proliferation of nuclear weapons could increase the probability of international peace.
International relations chapter 2 non-states
This document outlines the course schedule and content for an international relations course. It covers four chapters: an introduction to international relations and states; non-state actors; intergovernmental organizations; and problems and challenges. The document then provides details on defining and types of non-state actors, including NGOs, multinational corporations, nationalist movements, violent groups, religious groups, and humanitarian organizations. It also briefly discusses Greenpeace, imperialism, and globalization.
Theories of International Relations-Introduction
The document provides an overview of international relations theories including realism, liberalism, and recent trends. It summarizes key concepts from classical and neo realism such as the assumptions of human nature and states operating under anarchy. Neo-liberal institutionalism and its focus on the conditions under which states can cooperate is discussed. Recent theories of international conflict and cooperation explained include bargaining theory of war, alliance theory, diversionary theory of war, democratic peace theory, hegemonic stability theory, and rational design theory. The document concludes with questions about which theories may help explain specific international events.

Liberalism
The document discusses several key aspects of liberal theories in international relations. It covers:
1) Early liberal thinkers like Kant who argued that states could cooperate through international organizations and that democracies are more peaceful.
2) 19th century liberalism focused on free trade increasing interdependence and making war less likely.
3) Wilsonian idealism promoted collective security and international law to prevent war.
4) Neoliberal institutionalism sees states cooperating through international regimes when it is in their self-interest to do so and institutions help address collective action problems.
5) Concepts like collective security, international regimes, and the democratic peace theory are discussed as key aspects of modern liberal
Diplomacy defined
Diplomacy is defined as the art of conducting negotiations between parties in a sensitive manner. It usually refers to international relations and communications between countries. The goal of diplomacy is to further a state's interests through establishing independence, security, and maximizing advantage without using force. There are many types of diplomacy, including citizen, cultural, economic, and public diplomacy, each with a distinct purpose in international relations.
DECISION MAKING MODEL. IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
This document discusses models of foreign policy decision making. It defines foreign policy decision making as choices made by individuals or groups that result in international policies or strategies. It describes several models of decision making including bounded rationality, organizational politics, bureaucratic politics, and prospect theory. It also outlines the typical stages in foreign policy decision making which include assessing the environment, setting goals, determining options, formal decision making, and implementation.
DIPLOMACY
The document discusses the concepts of diplomacy and world politics from both macro and micro perspectives. From a macro view, diplomacy refers to the fundamental process of communication between political entities that helps create stability in the global system by resolving conflicts through dialogue and negotiation. From a micro view, diplomacy provides insights into how international actors like states behave in the system and can be used as an instrument to achieve their foreign policy goals through direct negotiations or other methods. The document then outlines some key features of traditional diplomacy, including its state-based structure with permanent embassies, bilateral and secretive processes, and narrow agenda focused on issues of war, peace and personal monarchical ambitions.
Balance of power
The document discusses the concept of balance of power in international relations. It provides definitions from various scholars throughout history. Some key points:
1) Balance of power refers to a state of equilibrium or distribution of power among states so that no single state can dominate the others and impose its will.
2) Scholars have defined it as both an equality of power distribution as well as a disequilibrium, with states preferring a balance in their own favor.
3) It has been used to describe a policy, system, status, and symbol in international politics throughout the ages from the 15th to 19th centuries.
4) There is no universal agreement on its precise meaning as it can refer to
03 the main theories in international relations
The document provides an overview of the key theories in International Relations: liberal internationalism, realism, and Marxism. It discusses the origins and assumptions of each theory. Liberal internationalism developed after WWI to explain the causes of the war and promote international cooperation and democracy. However, its failure to prevent WWII led to the rise of realist theories emphasizing state power and self-interest. Realism views the international system as anarchic and states as primarily concerned with survival. Major variants include classical, structural, and offensive realism. Marxist theories examine international politics through the lens of class conflict and economic exploitation between states.
Foreign Policy: Basic Concepts & Terms
The prime objective of a state is to improve the quality of life of its citizens. For this, the state formulates a comprehensive set of interdependent policies.
Foreign policy is one such policy formulated to achieve the above objectives by utilizing the foreign relations of a country

Liberalism
Liberalism emphasizes the multiplicity of international actors like states, international organizations, and transnational groups. Liberals see states as important actors but not the only ones, and prefer the term "world politics" over "international relations". They view states as battlegrounds for domestic and transnational interests rather than unitary, rational actors. Global civil society refers to voluntary organizations, women's groups, human rights organizations, environmental activists, and chambers of commerce. Liberals believe international cooperation is possible between states and other actors through decisive actions by both state and nonstate groups.
Diplomacy
- Diplomacy involves negotiation between states and helps maintain international relations and prevent conflict.
- The origins of modern diplomacy can be traced back to the city-states of Northern Italy in the 13th century, which established permanent embassies.
- Key aspects of modern diplomacy like credentials for ambassadors began in Italy and spread to other parts of Europe over subsequent centuries.
Behaviouralism
Behaviouralism emerged after World War 2 as a challenge to existing international relations theories. It takes a positivist and scientific approach, emphasizing observable data over subjective interpretations. Behaviouralism views human behaviour as shaped by external environmental factors rather than innate drives, and aims to discover laws that can predict international relations. It uses scientific methods like hypothesis testing and focuses on quantifiable and measurable variables.
Difference State Actors and Non state Actors
In this presentation, we have depicted the difference between state actors and nonstate actors with examples.
Nation & state
A nation-state is a country where the borders of the state encompass a territory inhabited by a group of people who share a common culture, language, religion, and history. In a nation-state, everyone typically speaks the same language and shares similar cultural values. Before the rise of nation-states in Europe in the 18th century, the dominant political entities were multi-ethnic empires that ruled over diverse populations but were dominated by a single ethnic group. A key characteristic of modern nation-states is that their territories are considered sacred and non-transferable between rulers.
Presentation science politic
The statement that states are no longer dominant players in international relations requires consideration of several factors affecting states' roles. First, the rise of international organizations has increased the number of key global and regional actors beyond just states. Second, transnational issues like crime, ethnonational movements, and prominent leaders have challenged states' control and posed new difficulties. Finally, the growing influence of regional organizations and non-state groups indicates states must share influence with other entities in today's global landscape.
International Relations -Introductory slides.pptx
This document provides an introduction to key concepts in international relations, including:
1) International relations is the study of how countries interact and relate with each other, including how they cooperate, communicate, compete, and experience conflict.
2) There are currently 195 sovereign states in the world that have internationally recognized territory, permanent populations, governments, and sovereignty.
3) The distribution of power in the international system can take different forms, including unipolar systems dominated by one superpower, bipolar systems dominated by two superpowers, and multipolar systems with multiple centers of power.
4) The concept of a balance of power holds that states will form alliances to prevent any one state from becoming too

Introduction to Comparative Politics
This document outlines the key topics and concepts covered in a political science course. It discusses definitions of politics, forms of power, comparisons of power across countries, reasons for war between countries, and theories of political science such as pluralism, elite theory, and Marxism.

This document discusses critical discourse analysis of Barack Obama's political speeches and ideology. It provides background on politics, the role of language in politics, and theoretical underpinnings of discourse and critical discourse analysis. Key aspects of critical discourse analysis are exploring relationships between textual structures and social contexts/power relations. The analysis aims to reveal how texts construct perspectives and ideologies in subtle ways. Liberal discourse emphasizes Enlightenment ideals over religious ones and concepts of individual freedom and equality. Examples from Obama's inaugural address reference American history and values of tolerance and patriotism to call for national unity.

The document discusses political elites and leadership. It defines elites as small groups that play an influential role in society. Classical elite theories argued elites are inevitable and revolutions only change elites, not power structures. Pluralist theories later argued elites are complex networks that compete. Leadership requires influencing followers to achieve common goals. Effective leadership depends on the leader, followers, and conditions. While early views focused on leader traits, later theories emphasized situational factors. Leadership functions include goal achievement and group maintenance through suggestions, tension release, and giving members a voice.

The Contemporary International System
Prepare:
Read Chapters 5, 6, and 7 of the course text.
Reflect:
Realist, liberal, and identity perspectives provide excellent insights into today’s contemporary world. The realist perspective generally emphasizes the importance of power in international politics. In general, power is the capacity to influence others to do things that they would otherwise not be likely to do. Power is derived from many sources, but realists often emphasize in particular military power and the control of vital resources. Liberal views of the contemporary world focus on the integrating forces of international institutions and economic interdependence. The 1990s, according to the liberal perspective, provides extensive examples of the role of international institutions in collective security, legitimizing intervention into the affairs of other states. Identity perspectives focus on religious, ethnic, and national differences and on the role of political reform in integrating different groups and promoting tolerance. The identity perspective sees ethnic conflicts as socially created and advocates tolerance and democratization as the most effective answers to those conflicts. Consequently, knowledge of all three perspectives is needed in order to form a coherent, comprehensive picture of today’s international environment.

The document discusses the lack of leadership in the Middle East following the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011. It argues that on a national level, authoritarian leaders were overthrown without being replaced, resulting in new regimes struggling to rule and old ones losing stability. On a regional level, some states are losing influence while others gain power in the absence of leadership. Globally, the U.S. has lost credibility and hegemony in the region. The multipolarity and ideological diversity of the Middle East, long manipulated by outside powers, has led to uncontrolled changes without a leader to restore order or balance of power.

This document provides an overview of key concepts in international relations and foreign policy. It begins by defining international relations and discussing the evolution of the modern state system. It then identifies the main actors in international relations as states and non-state actors. The document outlines different levels of analysis, from the individual to the international system level. It also summarizes several major theories of international relations, including realism, liberalism, and Marxism/structuralism. The theories are compared in terms of their views on state interests, the sources of conflict, the role of international organizations, and human nature.
Pluralism-Political Science
Pluralism is a political and sociological theory that recognizes the various types of organizations within a state, such as religious, political, and social groups. It originated in the late 19th century through the work of German jurist Otto Von Gierke and was further developed by English legal historian F.W. Maitland. Pluralism asserts that groups in society arise independently and acquire authority not granted by the state. It also maintains that the state is just one of many groups that people use to satisfy their needs and that power should be decentralized away from the state.
Nation building
This document discusses theories of nation-building success and failure.

When compared to purely economic examinations, theories of international politics from The History of Ideas provide a more thorough explanation of international voting patterns. A holistic perspective of political structures considers how two facets of state-building - the international system and domestic problems - shape state identity and behavior, rather than seeing them as isolated factors. While institutions can influence new states, their development is more constrained by global societal forces than by intentional groupings.

Political crisis in 1975
This document analyzes the August 15, 1975 coup in Bangladesh in which Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was assassinated. It was an unprecedented coup led by junior army officers that overthrew the established government very quickly. The government collapsed with no resistance from Mujib's security forces. This allowed the coup plotters to announce martial law. The relationship between politicians and the army was strained. The roles of several army generals around the coup were mysterious. In the aftermath, an indemnity bill was passed and the junior officers who led the coup took power, while the killers of Mujib stayed in his residence.

It has a bicameral legislature where the parliament and Rajya Sabha are elected every 5 and 6 years respectively. While India enjoys successes like a corruption-free election commission and no military coups since independence, there are still failures like keeping educated people out of government and candidates influencing voters based on religion, caste, and money rather than qualifications.
