International Relations: Constructivism pt1
Constructivism rejects a purely materialist view of international relations that focuses only on how the distribution of power shapes state behavior. Instead, constructivists argue that social factors like shared ideas, norms, and perceptions play an equally important role in shaping the international system and state interests and identities. The international system is not a fixed structure defined by material forces, but rather is socially constructed and can change as shared understandings between states change. For example, the end of the Cold War showed how states can redefine their interests and identities, transforming anarchy from a culture of "enemies" to "friends" through altered social interactions and understandings between them.
02a types of international conflict
International conflicts can take several forms:
1) Interstate conflicts occur between two or more governments, such as the World Wars.
2) Intrastate conflicts are between a government and non-governmental party, like civil wars.
3) Intrastate conflicts with foreign involvement have one or both sides receiving support from other governments, as seen in the Spanish and Angolan civil wars.
4) Extra-systemic conflicts are between a state and non-state group outside its territory, such as colonial wars of independence.
Military aspect of politics
The document discusses the future of Myanmar and the role of its military. It covers several topics:
1. The history of Myanmar's political system, shifting from parliamentary democracy to military dictatorship to the current transition period.
2. The relationship between the military and political systems in Myanmar and other countries. In Myanmar currently the military still maintains significant political power through reserved positions and control of key ministries.
3. The challenges Myanmar faces in transitioning to a stable democratic system, including issues of legitimacy for the government, militant culture within the military, poverty, and power struggles during the transition period.
4. The roles and influences of the military within Myanmar and other countries,
Us foreign policy
1) Foreign policy refers to a government's strategy for dealing with other nations and can be influenced by both the President and Congress through various actions.
2) The document examines key foreign economic challenges faced by the Carter administration such as inflation, oil shortages, and a declining dollar that impacted U.S. strength at home and abroad.
3) NATO plays a role in foreign policy by undertaking crisis management operations through diplomatic conflict resolution or under a UN mandate, while also encouraging defense industry cooperation among allies.
Foreign policy decision making
The document discusses two common models of rational decision making in foreign policy analysis. The first model refers to a process where decision makers should be logical, orderly, coherent and consistent in their preferences. They should also be able to update their estimates based on new reliable information. The second model expects decision makers to generate subjective probability estimates of outcomes. However, cognitive biases can challenge these rational models, as decision makers tend towards simplicity, consistency, act as poor estimators and experience loss aversion.
Peacekeeping 18.05.09
The document discusses United Nations peace operations, including peacekeeping, peacebuilding, and conflict management. It defines peacekeeping as helping to implement peace agreements and maintain ceasefires. Peacebuilding aims to address the root causes of conflict and help countries build sustainable peace. The challenges facing UN peace operations include overstretch due to taking on many missions simultaneously, as well as coordination problems between peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts.
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.
Human vs National Security in the International arena
This document discusses security studies and different perspectives on international order. It analyzes three trends in security studies since the Cold War: 1) Those who argue the international system has not fundamentally changed; 2) The Copenhagen School's securitization theory which examines how issues become security issues; 3) Rational choice theory which views security as affecting states' use of force based on calculations. The document concludes that security studies provides a framework for interpreting phenomena and there are challenges in balancing human and national security perspectives.

Cold and post cold war
The document summarizes Pakistan's foreign policy approaches during different eras of the Cold War:
1. Era of Neutrality (1947-1953): Pakistan remained neutral and did not join military alliances in the early Cold War period.
2. Era of Alliances (1954-1962): Pakistan joined anti-communist alliances like CENTO and SEATO for economic and military aid but reconsidered due to lack of US support on Kashmir.
3. Post-Cold War (1990-2001): With the Soviet Union's collapse, Pakistan faced pressure to rollback its nuclear program and was sidelined on Kashmir by the sole superpower US.

Just war
Brief (16 slide) overview of Just War concepts, used in teaching The Philosophy of Violence since 1998, revised 2003.
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.
INTERNATIONAL POLITICS AS FOREIGN POLICY OUTPUTS
This slide is about international politics as foreign policy outputs by countries or state in international level.
China geopolitic issues
China has an export-oriented economy that depends on other countries importing its cheap goods. This makes China vulnerable to disruptions in trade. Geopolitically, China aims to maintain control over buffer regions like Tibet and Taiwan, and protect its coastal regions. There are disputes over territories in the South China Sea, where China claims ownership over a vast area marked by its "nine-dashed line" on maps, conflicting with claims by other countries. While China faces no major land-based military threats currently, it views the U.S. Navy as a threat to its control of coastal regions.

Objectives and instruments of Foreign Policy
This document provides instructions for a POL 403 class assignment where students must write their own foreign policy statement using two objectives and two instruments. It outlines several topics that could be addressed in the statement, such as priorities, roles, instruments, and resources. It also lists potential foreign policy objectives like power, peace, and prosperity as well as instruments like national security intelligence, diplomacy, military force, and economic statecraft.
Levels of analysis
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.
Marksmanship principles modified
This document outlines the principles of marksmanship and proper rifle technique, including maintaining a firm position, pointing the rifle naturally at the target, aligning the sights correctly on the target, and firing without disturbing your position. The principles are aimed at teaching the reader how to hold and fire a rifle properly for accurate shooting.
Concept of human security
The document discusses the evolution of the concept of security from a traditional state-centric view to a broader human security perspective. It outlines how human security emerged after World War II to consider all aspects of individual and community life, in contrast to the prior focus only on state sovereignty and military threats. The document then compares the traditional and human security paradigms, examining differences in their referents, threats, and means of ensuring security.
Role of bureaucracy in formulation of foreign policy.
Bureaucracies play an important role in foreign policy formulation according to the bureaucratic politics model. They generate the information and policy alternatives presented to policymakers. Bureaucracies also frame issues according to their interests and perspectives. Additionally, bureaucracies influence policy through negotiating their positions within the power structures of government. Allison applied this model to explain the Cuban Missile Crisis as the result of bargaining between government actors rather than a unified decision. However, critics argue it obscures the president's control over policy and implementation.
USA Foreign policy Analysis
The document discusses the foreign policy of the United States in three phases: before 1945, after 1945, and after 9/11. It outlines the major objectives and instruments of US foreign policy in each phase. Before 1945, the US pursued isolationism and focused on security, promoting ethical values, and individual liberty. After 1945, it abandoned isolationism due to the bipolar world, military developments, and ideological differences. It expanded alliances, provided foreign aid, used sanctions, pursued open markets and free trade. After 9/11, countering terrorism became a major focus, through objectives like bringing terrorists to justice and promoting democracy.
use of force
The document discusses the legal regulation of the use of force under international law. It covers:
1) The law before 1945 permitted the use of force under just war doctrine and states' sovereign rights, though there were attempts to prohibit war through the League of Nations and Kellogg-Briand Pact.
2) After 1945, the UN Charter prohibits the use of force except in self-defense or under UN Security Council authorization. The Nicaragua v. US case established that indirect force and intervention are also prohibited, and that self-defense requires an armed attack and a request from the victim state.
3) There are restrictive and permissive views on interpreting prohibitions on force - the restrictive view
Arms Control and Disarmament
This document discusses arms control, disarmament, and the relationship between the two. It provides definitions and comparisons of arms control and disarmament. Arms control refers to formal agreements that regulate military capabilities between states, with the goal of reducing risk of war. Disarmament envisions the elimination of all weapons and seeks to overturn the status quo, while arms control works to preserve it. The document also lists several historical arms control agreements and their key provisions.

China's Incomplete Military Transformation
This document analyzes weaknesses in China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) by examining its organization, human capital, combat capabilities, and defense industry. It finds that while the PLA has modernized significantly since the 1990s, weaknesses remain. In particular, it faces challenges in joint operations, non-combat operations, and modern hardware. The PLA is working to address these weaknesses through reforms, but they may limit its ability to achieve all of its missions, including deterring Taiwan independence and defending maritime claims, through 2025. Understanding the PLA's weaknesses is important for assessing its military transformation and implications for US and allied security.
Modern Western Civ 10 The French Revolution Origins
The document provides an overview of the intellectual, social, and political causes that contributed to the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789. Intellectually, liberal and democratic ideas from the Enlightenment spread new political thinking. Socially, the system of estates exacerbated tensions between the privileged orders and the common people. Politically, a fiscal crisis overwhelmed the French monarchy as it faced resistance to reforms from the nobility. These various long-term factors came together to spark the revolution when the Estates-General was convened in response to the king's call for tax reforms.

Fact Sheet: Youth with Disabilities
Fact Sheet: Youth with DisabilitiesUN Focal Point on Youth, Division for Social Policy and Development
Youth with disabilities face significant disadvantages globally. They are often excluded from education and have high rates of illiteracy and unemployment. Additionally, they frequently experience discrimination, social isolation, and lack of access to healthcare and relationships. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities aims to promote equal rights and opportunities for youth with disabilities.christian world peace
Christianity contributes to world peace in several ways. Christians aim to express inner peace through righteous and peaceful attitudes according to scripture. Christians use prayer, meditation, and retreats to achieve inner peace. The concept of peace in Christianity has been interpreted differently over time, from accepting persecution to participation in religious wars to modern pacifism. Many Christian organizations from different denominations work formally and informally on peace through ecumenical and interfaith dialogue.
Lesson 05
Clinical psychology evolved through psychologists' involvement in four areas: research, assessment, treatment, and prevention. Psychologists became involved in these areas at different times in the 20th century and for various reasons. Their role in these areas helps understand the field's past and anticipate its future. Likewise, understanding the broader social context is important. Clinical psychologists' research has grown significantly in scope since the early 1900s. Two landmark studies, on the effectiveness of psychotherapy and statistical versus clinical prediction, shaped the field by challenging assumptions and spurring better research.
Environmental protection for schools - Navotas City Government
This document discusses environmental protection and pollution. It defines environment and explains that a healthy environment leads to healthy living things, while an unhealthy environment has negative impacts. Environmental protection is important and is the responsibility of both governments and individuals. The document outlines the scope of environmental protection, including land/solid waste protection laws, water/liquid waste protection laws, and air pollution protection laws. It discusses the effects of pollution and provides practical solutions that individuals can implement, such as reducing waste, reusing items, recycling, and promoting public awareness.
Structural violence -
Structural violence refers to harm that results from social structures or institutions that prevent groups from meeting their basic needs. Johan Galtung introduced the concept to describe indirect violence built into social, political and economic systems that disadvantages individuals and populations. The document discusses examples of structural violence like unequal access to resources causing hunger, mismanagement of water leading to drought, corporatization of agriculture disadvantaging small farmers, public-private partnerships draining health budgets, and cultural practices like female genital mutilation harming women's health and rights. Structural violence is invisible and normalized, but has severe impacts on human well-being and development.
laws of environmental protection - India
The document discusses the history of environmental protection laws in India. It outlines several important international agreements that raised awareness of environmental issues, such as the 1972 Stockholm Declaration and the 1987 Brundtland Commission report. In response, India enacted numerous national environmental protection acts starting in the 1970s, including the Water Pollution Act of 1974, Air Pollution Act of 1981, and Environment Protection Act of 1986. The document also notes India's constitutional provisions supporting environmental protection and its role in implementing international agreements domestically through parliamentary legislation.
Introduction to clinical psychology
Clinical Psychology helps to analyze the human behaviours like mental, emotional and behavioural disorders and diagnose, treat and prevent mental disorders.

Psychological Assessment Tools
Clinical interviews and psychological tests are important tools used by psychologists to assess patients. The clinical interview involves a conversation between psychologist and patient to diagnose issues and plan treatment, and can be structured or unstructured. Common psychological tests include intelligence tests like WAIS and WISC, personality tests like MMPI and Rorschach, and achievement and aptitude tests. Psychological assessment also involves behavioral observation, mental status exams, and collecting demographic and medical history information.
Introduction To Clinical Psychology
Clinical psychology involves the scientific study and application of psychology to understand, prevent, and relieve psychologically-based distress. The field aims to promote well-being and personal development through practices like psychological assessment, psychotherapy, research, teaching, and consultation. Clinical psychology has evolved from pseudoscientific 18th century practices to a modern scientific discipline, influenced by thinkers like Sigmund Freud and developments like standardized testing during World Wars I and II. It encompasses diverse theoretical perspectives including behavioral, cognitive, psychodynamic, humanistic, family systems, and emerging models like positive psychology.

Peace and violence
This presentation highlights different notions and dimensions of peace and violence with well-defined definitions and characteristics.
Religion And Peace
The document discusses how Christianity and Judaism promote peace at both the individual and global levels. It provides passages from scripture about peace from both traditions. Christianity teaches that peace is founded on justice and is exemplified through Jesus' life and teachings of nonviolence, love and forgiveness. Judaism's teachings emphasize gemilut chasidim or loving-kindness, social justice, and avoiding hatred and violence according to the Torah and prophets. Both traditions offer individuals inner peace through practices like prayer, study, reflection and living virtuously.
5 major world religions ppt
Prince Siddhartha Gautama was born wealthy but witnessed suffering, which led him to meditate under a tree and discover the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path. He became known as the Buddha and taught that suffering stems from desire and can be overcome by following his teachings to reach Nirvana. Buddhism spread across Asia with both sects that worship Buddha as a teacher and as a god.
Basic concepts in psychological testing
Psychological and educational tests are measurement devices used to quantify behavior. An item is a specific stimulus with an overt response that can be evaluated or scored. A test is a set of items designed to measure human characteristics related to behavior. Tests can be individual or group. They measure different types of abilities like achievement, aptitude, and intelligence, which are interrelated, or personality through structured or projective tests. Psychological testing encompasses all uses and concepts of these tests.

End Fear on 9/11/11 - www.endfear.org
This document discusses different types of fears that people experience, including classic fears, medical fears, fears of climate change and poverty. It questions whether all fears are rational, and provides examples to show that some fears are exaggerated based on statistics. The document also examines causes of death globally and in developed vs developing countries. It discusses the effects of fear and how fear is used as a tool to control populations. The topic of terrorism is analyzed, comparing the number of deaths from terrorist attacks to World Wars. The document proposes an initiative called "EndFear" to rationalize fears through education and celebrates ending irrational fears on September 11th, 2011.
Human Rights violations
This document discusses various human rights violations that have occurred throughout history, including during World War 2 under the Nazi regime and more recently in conflicts like Darfur. It outlines how the UN was formed after WWII to establish international agreements like the UDHR to protect human rights following the atrocities of that war. However, it notes that many violations still occur regularly in areas like torture, slavery, right to life and security of person. Specific examples of recent violations are provided for several articles of the UDHR.
Terrorism
Terrorism is defined as the unlawful use of violence against people or property to intimidate or coerce a government for political or social goals. It is a tactic that has been used throughout history to make a point through instilling fear psychologically. There are different types of terrorist groups and motives, and terrorism can involve the use of explosives, firearms, or biological, chemical, and nuclear materials to carry out attacks. While terrorism poses risks, preventing it involves reducing root causes like cultural misunderstandings, promoting human rights, and establishing surveillance and protective systems.

The document discusses several current international issues:
1) Globalization and its advantages and disadvantages such as cultural exposure versus economic exploitation.
2) Tensions over Iran's nuclear program, with Iran continuing development despite international pressure and possible sanctions or military action.
3) The ongoing genocide in Sudan's Darfur region by government-backed militias, the international community's reluctance to intervene due to sovereignty issues, and debates around humanitarian intervention.

International day for the elimination of viole
The document discusses various forms of violence against women that are widespread around the world. It notes that up to 70% of women experience violence in their lifetime, with the most common form being physical violence by an intimate partner. Other forms discussed include sexual violence, female genital mutilation, dowry murder, honor killings, and human trafficking. The document outlines the huge human and economic costs of violence against women globally.
Bin Laden, Intelligence, And National Security
This document provides an overview of intelligence failures and recommendations for reform. It argues that the US spends too much on secret intelligence and military programs, and not enough on open source intelligence, humanitarian aid, and understanding other cultures. It recommends a more balanced approach across diplomatic, economic and social issues to better address the root causes of conflicts and threats.
War and terrorism
War can be defined as an armed conflict between political communities, whether between states or groups within a state. Classical war refers to international conflicts between states, while civil wars occur within states between rival groups. Terrorism involves the use or threat of violence against governments, organizations, or individuals to achieve political, religious, economic, or social goals. In modern wars, the majority of casualties are civilians, not combatants. Wars often have severe and long-lasting psychological and physical impacts on civilians and combatants alike and contribute to issues like post-traumatic stress disorder.
2014 steele @-tarleton-modern-conflict-1.6
This document discusses various types of modern conflicts and threats facing societies post-9/11. It addresses threats from non-state actors, infectious diseases, poverty, environmental degradation, and more. It argues that current defense strategies focus too narrowly on state-based military threats while largely ignoring other challenges. A holistic approach is needed to understand the full spectrum of threats and their interrelated nature in order to effectively address risks to security and stability.
Cate Buchanan SDHI webinar Surviving Gun Violence 15.3.12
This webinar aimed to highlight knowledge gaps and areas for human rights and health practitioners to address regarding gun violence survivors. An estimated 525,000 people die annually from armed violence, while millions survive but face disabilities, impaired mental health, and difficulties accessing rehabilitation and trauma care. Survivors experience gender-specific impacts and barriers. Research and policies should include survivors and consider the development impacts of injury and disability on livelihoods. The Surviving Gun Violence Project aims to network communities and produce a policy report to stimulate further engagement on these issues.
Gun control fact pack july 4, 2015
This document discusses gun deaths and gun control policy in the United States by analyzing statistics on causes of death, gun ownership, and homicides. It finds that while gun homicides receive much media attention, they account for less than 1% of total deaths in the US. Many other preventable causes of death like obesity, smoking and traffic accidents kill far more people each year. It also shows that demographic groups with higher gun ownership rates like older white males have lower homicide rates. The document questions whether limiting access to guns is the most effective way to reduce homicides and suggests addressing root causes like education, the economy, and mental health.
"Good Reasons to Kill" Global Data on Homicide & Intentional Violence 2015
500,000 people die on this planet every year from acts of intentional violence and homicide such as war, terrorism, domestic violence, infanticide, gang violence, honor killings and state executions.
As a former soldier I accept that soldiers die during times of war, but what I cannot understand is why so many people die from intentional violence and murder.
So I went in search of answers. This is what I've learned...

Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: China and Russia are commonly considered the biggest military threats to Western civilization, but I believe that is incorrect. The biggest strategic threat is a terrorist Jihadi Caliphate.Buck pr 522
The document discusses terrorism from several perspectives:
1) It provides definitions of terrorism focusing on the unlawful use of force against people or property to intimidate or coerce for political or social goals.
2) It examines different types of terrorist groups including domestic, national, and international and some of their motivations like ethnic cleansing or undermining government confidence.
3) It analyzes government responses to terrorism and how emergency services must be prepared to think creatively to respond to different terrorist weapons and incidents involving explosives, arson, nuclear, biological or chemical agents.
Imperialism, war and terrorism of state
Imperialism, war and State terrorism are directly related. Imperialism is the generator source of war and State terrorism. The term State terrorism has become common in the denunciation of repressive practices by the secret services that have resulted in murder, torture, censorship of the media, and finally the pursuit of a series of state-based violence similar to those employed in terrorism. The imperialism practiced by the great western powers against the peripheral capitalist countries has meant war and terrorism throughout history. The United States is humanity's number one aggressor and terrorist. No matter how shocking the activity of small private terrorist groups occasionally, they are all tiny in the face of US superterrorism. As long as the political, economic and military hegemony of the United States prevails that seeks to impose its will in the context of the interstate system, the war of everybody against everybody will prevail. Until the emergence of a common world power, that is, a world government, international relations will be governed by the law of the more strong. And this is the worst case scenario because no country, however powerful, will be able to avoid the war of everybody against everybody.
How history of International Relations affect our everyday lives
The study of history of international relations affects our daily lives in several ways:
1) It helps us avoid repeating the mistakes of the past that led to wars and conflicts, such as poor relations between countries that contributed to World Wars 1 and 2.
2) It has made countries more conscious of maintaining peaceful relations with other nations and recognizing interdependence, leading to cooperation through bodies like the UN.
3) However, some issues like terrorism persist due to failures of international relations and poor response, as seen with the rise of groups like Al-Qaeda in response to issues in Iraq.
4) Examining history has moved the world towards greater humanitarianism, with the UN and other groups providing aid, and countries

Celebrities and athletes have increasingly used their platforms to speak out against racial injustice. They have protested police brutality and systemic racism in the US through actions like kneeling during the national anthem and marching with the Black Lives Matter movement. Their vocal advocacy has helped raise awareness of racial issues and put pressure on leaders and institutions to enact meaningful reforms to combat discrimination and unequal treatment under the law.
