What is politics?
A basic intro to the idea of politics and global politics.
Intro to the different perspectives to studying Global Politics
Power and 21st century world order
The document discusses key issues around power and world order in the 21st century. It examines the changing nature of power from military to economic power. It explores theories of hegemony and debates if the US is a hegemonic power or in decline. It also analyzes if the world is becoming multipolar with the rise of countries like China and India, and how this may impact global politics. Key models of world order discussed include unipolarity, multipolarity, and Robert Cooper's model of pre-modern, modern and post-modern states.
C7 - International Conflicts
This chapter discusses different types of international conflicts including wars, disputes, and ideological clashes. It examines theories for what causes conflicts on individual, domestic, and global levels. Nationalism and ethnicity are identified as major forces that influence international relations and often lead to conflicts when groups demand statehood or adjusted borders. Ethnic conflicts sometimes involve ethnic cleansing or genocide. While religion and ideology can exacerbate tensions, they usually do not directly cause conflicts, which tend to have more underlying political or economic drivers.
Unit #1 & 2 Student Version
This document provides an introduction to concepts in international relations including what international relations studies, definitions of key terms like country, state, sovereignty, and nation-state. It also summarizes different approaches to foreign policy like isolationism vs internationalism and tools of foreign policy such as diplomacy, alliances, trade, foreign aid, and sanctions. Current world trends are outlined as growing interdependence, US influence declining and rise of other powers, spread of democracy and technology. National interests and how they drive foreign policy decisions are also explained.
Unipolarity in international relations
One state exercises most of the cultural, economic, and military influence in a unipolar international system. The effects of unipolarity can be analyzed by considering how the unipole behaves, how other states act in response, and the properties of the international system itself. The specific dynamics of any unipolar system depend greatly on the actions and satisfaction of the unipolar state with the status quo, as major powers are more likely to attempt to change the international system if they expect to benefit from such changes.
Foreign Policy
The document discusses the key factors that influence the formulation of US foreign policy:
1) Institutions such as the executive branch, Congress, and various government agencies and bureaucracies play a role in both creating and implementing foreign policy. This process can involve struggles between the branches.
2) Ideas like moralism, realism, and neo-realism shape how decision-makers view America's role in the world and its national interests.
3) Domestic and foreign interests, including defense contractors, also exert influence through lobbying and advocacy. Of these factors, institutions have the greatest role in actually creating foreign policy.
Clash of Civilizations
Huntington argued that after the Cold War, conflict would arise from cultural divisions between eight major civilizations. However, his view was criticized by Edward Said and Fouad Ajami for being overly broad and promoting isolationism. Said argued Huntington ignored diversity within civilizations and promoted xenophobia. Ajami believed states would prioritize their own interests over cultural ties. The document concludes Huntington was wrong and the best paradigm is that states will inevitably interact and pursue self-interest in an interdependent global economy.

The clash of civilizations
A thorough analysis on Samuel P. Huntington's, Clash of Civilizations. The presentation starts with some basic information on the writer, the nature and history of civilizations as well as the basic reasons of their conflict. It continues with presenting and criticizing specific topics imposed by the writer and ends with our own ideas and implications based on the work of Samuel P. Huntington.
Tabakian Pols 7 Fall/Spring 2014 Power 12
This document provides an overview of lecture material on modern world governments and international relations. It covers several topics discussed in the lectures, including Washington's dominance in Latin America, foreign debt as a political issue, the transition to democracy, and how democracy can change from within using examples from India and Kenya. The document is composed of multiple sections from the lecture presentations, organized by topic and containing descriptive text, definitions, and analyses of historical and contemporary issues.
Politics Now Jon Pevehouse Public Opinion And American Foreign Policy
- Many Americans have poor geographic knowledge about locations abroad like Japan and the UK. However, public opinion on foreign policy issues can be relatively coherent.
- Traditional views held that public opinion on foreign policy did not matter because the public was uninformed and volatile. But more recent evidence suggests public opinion does influence policy when it changes in response to events, rather than randomly.
- Studies show local media coverage of foreign policy issues tends to follow debates in Congress. This media coverage then shapes public opinion, which leaders take into account. So public opinion can indirectly influence policy through its impact on politicians anticipating voter reactions.
Second Nuclear Age
In this April 2016 presentation by Ed Timperlake, the question of how to reshape US strategy to deal with the second nuclear age is the focus of attention.
Are we trapped by our historical knowledge of “deterrence?”
Professor Bracken: “If the United States doesn’t have a flexible, reliable nuclear posture it can’t deal effectively with other countries who do. It is the ultimate vulnerability that shapes other security choices.”
International Conflict
The document summarizes different types of international conflicts:
- Contemporary wars are occurring in the global South, particularly in Iraq, Western Sudan, and Afghanistan. Most peace agreements in postwar zones are holding.
- Types of war include hegemonic war, total war, limited war, civil war, and guerrilla war. The largest drivers of conflict are ethnic, religious, ideological, territorial, governmental, and economic. Nationalism has also been a major force shaping conflicts over the past two centuries.
Types of Balance of Power
This document discusses different types of balance of power in international relations. It defines balance of power as a state of equilibrium between competing forces that prevents any one entity from becoming too powerful. It then describes simple and complex balance of power, as well as local, regional, worldwide, rigid, and flexible balance of power. Simple balance involves two powers, like the US and USSR during the Cold War. Complex balance aims to preserve peace between warring nations. Regional balance maintains equilibrium within a geographical area, while worldwide balance concerns multiple regions. Rigid balance involves inflexible alliances, while flexible balance allows for changing alignments.
The Clash of Civilizations
This report summarizes and analyzes Samuel Huntington's article "The Clash of Civilizations". Huntington argues that future conflicts will occur along cultural and religious lines between civilizations, rather than ideological or economic divisions. He defines civilizations based on common language, history, religion, and customs. Huntington predicts clashes between civilizations will increase due to factors like modernization weakening national identity, anti-Western sentiment, and economic regionalization fostering an "us vs. them" mentality. While conflicts may not all be violent, divisions along Islamic fault lines appear more threatening. The analysis discusses how kin-country rallying could exacerbate clashes and the implications of heightened civilization consciousness.
Tabakian Pols 7 Fall/Spring 2014 Power 10
This document provides lecture highlights and summaries from Dr. Tabakian's Political Science 7 course on Modern World Governments. It covers several topics related to spheres of influence, communication between spheres, state interdependency, unilateralism vs multilateralism, transnational communication, rules-based regimes and organizations, types of wars, and causes of war. The document is divided into multiple sections with headings and bullet points summarizing key concepts for each topic.
Clash of civization ppt
Samuel Huntington was an influential American political scientist known for his theory of a post-Cold War world order outlined in his 1993 article "The Clash of Civilizations?" and subsequent 1996 book. He argued that future conflicts would occur along cultural and religious lines between major civilizations, namely Western, Orthodox, Islamic, Hindu, African, and Sinic civilizations. Huntington defined civilizations based on religion, language, history, and values. He believed the most prevalent conflicts would be between Islamic and non-Islamic civilizations due to factors like religious differences and the Islamic resurgence. His thesis was influential but also highly criticized for overgeneralizing cultures and ignoring internal political factors driving conflicts.
Lecture #4: Conflict, War, and Terrorism
This document outlines different types of conflicts including hegemonic war, total war, limited war, civil war, and guerilla war. It then discusses various levels of analyzing conflict from the individual, domestic, interstate, and global levels. Six main types of conflicts are identified: ethnic, religious, ideological, territorial, governmental, and economic. Causes of conflicts such as nationalism, ethnic tensions, religious fundamentalism, territorial disputes, and proliferation of weapons are also examined.
The Book Review of The Clash of Civilization & The Remarking of World Order (...
This document provides a book review and analysis of Samuel Huntington's 1996 book "The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order". The review summarizes Huntington's main thesis that in the post-Cold War world, the primary divisions and conflicts will be along cultural and civilizational lines, with the main fault lines occurring between Western, Orthodox, Sinic, Japanese, Hindu, Islamic, and Latin American civilizations. The review then analyzes and critiques several aspects of Huntington's thesis, arguing that many of the civilizations he identifies may Westernize over time and not remain in conflict with the West. The review saves its most extensive critique for Huntington's inclusion of Islam as a civilization, arguing that trying to

Foreign policy determinants
1) A nation's foreign policy is determined by both domestic and international factors. Domestically, factors include a country's culture, history, geography, economic strength, and political system.
2) Internationally, the structure of the international system, international laws and organizations, military alliances, and relative military powers all influence a country's foreign policy choices.
3) A country's foreign policy consists of defining its national interests and desired outcomes, and determining strategies and resources to pursue these interests in interactions with other states.
Sino-US Relations in the 21st Century: Is a Sino-US War Possible?
This paper grapples with this question and concludes that war between the two can break out even tonight if certain conditions are met. However, for now, with China’s military not advanced enough, any war would have to be started by the US. And it so happens that the US actually has enough motives to engage China before it fully modernizes but cannot just do so from the blue. The US is thus trying to force China to give it the reason to justify a war to its increasingly war skeptical allies and domestic publics.
The reasons why the two cannot fight for now range from interdependence, the fact that Taiwan has not declared independence yet and the fact that Sino-Japan relations do not boil beyond the Yasukuni rhetoric. It is also due to the fact that China is powerless and relies on the US for many things such as access to lucrative markets and technology. The characters and personalities of the leaders of the two countries are also partly the reason there is not enough bad-blood to sound the war cry yet.
Clash Of Cultures
The document outlines Samuel Huntington's Clash of Civilizations theory, which predicts conflicts will occur along cultural and religious lines between major civilizations like Western, Islamic, Orthodox, Hindu, and Sinic. It discusses reasons cultures may clash, including differences, a smaller world with more interactions, and dual role of the West. It also examines specific Western-Islamic conflicts, Islamophobia, and efforts for intercultural dialogue. Barriers to coexistence include socio-political factors, communication challenges, and economic gaps between civilizations.
Clash of Civilizations? A critical perspective
This document summarizes and critiques Samuel Huntington's theory of a "Clash of Civilizations". It outlines Huntington's division of the world into major civilizations and his premise that conflicts will emerge along fault lines between these civilizations. The document critiques Huntington's perspective as overly simplistic, arguing it ignores cross-civilization exchanges and portrays non-Western civilizations in an adversarial manner to justify Western military dominance. Overall, the document casts doubt on Huntington's thesis by highlighting its ideological biases and lack of nuance.

H2UOctober15_Final
This document discusses cancer screening recommendations. It notes that more screening is not always better, and that patients should discuss their individual risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before testing. The American College of Physicians advocates focusing screening on low-risk patients only when evidence shows benefits outweigh risks of overdiagnosis and overtreatment. The document provides a website for the ACP's screening recommendations for common cancers in low-risk individuals and notes screening guidelines change over time as researchers learn more.

Jorge Cimentada- Master's thesis
This document summarizes a master's thesis that evaluates a World Bank program called AGE in Mexico. The AGE program aimed to involve parents in school decision-making through grants to parent associations. The thesis used experimental data to examine if the program improved math scores or survey response rates as a measure of conscientiousness. It found the program had no significant impact on these outcomes. Indigenous students had higher response rates over time, but this was not due to the AGE program. In conclusion, increasing parental involvement through school grants did not improve cognitive or non-cognitive skills as measured.

Identity thief
Identity thieves obtain personal and financial information in many ways, such as stealing wallets or data from homes, in order to access credit cards and bank accounts without permission. They then use the stolen information to make purchases or sell the data online, with some identity theft rings generating over $5 million through stolen credit cards. To reduce risk, people should guard their social security number, use passwords, minimize carried information, monitor statements, secure mail, check credit reports, and use firewalls on devices.

Realism in the American Foreign Policy
The document summarizes the key tenets of realism in US foreign policy according to Patrick Kallahan's book "Logics of American Foreign Policy". The main points of realism are that international relations is inherently a competition for power, military power is essential for national security, and foreign policy should maintain the balance of power. Realism also holds that morality has no place in foreign relations and states primarily act in their own self-interest. The document then discusses different branches and strategies of realism, such as internal balancing and external balancing, and provides examples of how realism has influenced US foreign policy throughout history.

This document summarizes a lecture on Western political thought and foreign policy. It discusses Upton Sinclair and muckrakers, how the masses perceive political parties, causes of war, America's biological weapons program, and the role of public opinion and legislatures in foreign policymaking. The lecture covers nationalism, ethnicity, religion, culture and natural resources as causes of war. It also describes America's secret biological weapons research program and testing on human subjects during the Cold War, and the program's later scrutiny and end under international agreements.
Liberalism internationalism in the American Foreign Policy
Liberalism internationalism is similar to liberalism in the US foreign policy. So, it is important to understand nuances. Patrick Callahan's book, "Logics of American Foreign Policy, Theories of America’s World Role" is helpful in this regard.
Presentation in CHAPTER 14 POWER POINT PRESENTATION WE THE PEOPLE.pptx
The document summarizes key aspects of U.S. foreign policy, including:
1) The main goals of U.S. foreign policy are security, economic prosperity, and creating a better world. Security traditionally focused on military threats but now includes non-state actors like terrorist groups.
2) Isolationism was replaced after World War 2 with deterrence to discourage attacks through military strength. The Cold War saw competition between the U.S. and USSR for global influence.
3) U.S. foreign policy uses various instruments including diplomacy, economic aid and sanctions, international organizations, and collective security agreements to achieve its goals and shape other countries' policies.

Qhta iraq war_presentation
The document discusses the motivations behind the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and whether it was in the national interest. It argues that in the post-9/11 context, the neoconservative faction in Washington convinced the public and Congress that invading Iraq was necessary for national security due to perceived threats from Iraqi WMD programs and Iraq's potential to disrupt US oil interests in the Middle East. This helped justify implementing neoconservative foreign policy goals of preemptive war and regime change in Iraq.

Foreign policy results from multiple factors at different levels of analysis. National interests, goals, and strategies are shaped by individual decision makers as well as societal forces like bureaucracies, interest groups, public opinion, and legislatures. Foreign policy outcomes also depend on the type of political system, whether a military dictatorship, one-party state, or democracy. The process of forming and implementing foreign policy involves rational considerations but can also be impacted by cognitive biases, emotions, and groupthink dynamics among leaders and their advisors.

CH 9: Riemer, Science, and Romance
The Political Values of Political Actors
Key Terms
Political values are important beliefs about which goals, principles, and policies are worthwhile in public affairs.
A goal is an objective. (may be peace, security, and order or war, domination, and power; may be liberty, equality, justice, and fraternity or slavery, subordination, tyranny, and enmity. May be positive or negative goals.)
A principle is a basic truth or belief that is used as a basis of reasoning or a guide to behavior. May also be positive or negative (peaceful change or violent change).
A policy is a course or general plan of action designed to solve problems or achieve specified goals; help determine whether certain standards are being met; serve as important guideposts in politics.
Where do political values come from? Whose goals, principles, and policies are actually being observed?
A political actor is the individual or group that expresses and shapes political values, struggles for power, and decides issues of public policy; governmental, economic, social and military elites, political parties, interest groups, the mass media, and nation-states are all examples of political actors.
Individual citizens are also political actors.
Level-of-analysis problem
With so many different political actors, who do we focus on: the national government as the primary actors or the decision-makers who lead the government? The international system itself?
What level do we operate on to really understand what is going on?
Guiding Hypothesis in studying political values
1) political values of political actors are rooted in their vital needs, fundamental interests, and perceived desires.
2) the struggle over political values is conditioned by the differing interpretations of needs, interests, and desires by diverse political actors and by the historical distribution of power (make for both conflict and consensus).
Guiding Hypothesis in studying political values
3) the world of politics frequently contains serious gaps between professed values and actual behaviors. The gaps exist because political actors are unable to break out of parochial, rigidly ideological patterns of thought and behavior. Difficult to narrow these gaps because human resources and capabilities are limited.
4) the future will probably include a major constitutional and democratic struggle between what we might call broad values and narrow values; will require a realistic understanding of vital needs, of compatible fundamental interests, and of modest and prudent desires.
The Values of Nations as Political Actors
Nations (national leaders, ruling elites, or governing parties) generally profess and seek to protect the national interest in foreign affairs and public interest in domestic affairs.
National interest is the vital needs and fundamental interests of the nation as a whole, security, liberty, justice and welfare, which are es ...

Slide 9 WestCal Political Science 5 Western Political Thought 2016
- 1. West Coast American Leadership Academy Political Science 5 – Western Political Thought Spring 2016 / Fall 2016 – Power Point 9
- 2. 1. Cultural Conflict: The New Cold War? 2. Conflict, Violence, And War 3. Causes Of War 4. “Kin-Country” Syndrome 5. Redefining Civilization Identity 6. West Vs. The Rest 7. American Military Power 8. Making Foreign Policy 9. Public Influences Policy 10.Legislatures Course Lecture Topics
- 3. Cultural Conflict: The New Cold War? • Tensions between civilizations are supplanting the political and ideological rivalries persistent during the Cold War. • Samuel Huntington argue, "the values that are most important in the West are least important worldwide.” • World politics will be directed in the future by conflicts that according to Kishore Mahbubani will be between "the West and the Rest." • Samuel P. Huntington adds ."..and the responses of non- Western civilizations to Western power and values.”
- 4. Conflict, Violence, And War • Non-Western civilizations isolate themselves from the Western-dominated global community. • "Band-Wagoning" can lead non-Western countries to join with the West and accept its values and institutions. • Non-Western countries can attempt to "balance" the West by developing an alternative economic and military power and ally with one another to effective counter Western dominance.
- 5. Causes Of War • Nationalism • Ethnicity • Religion • Culture • Natural Resources
- 6. “Kin-Country” Syndrome • States try to rally support from states that share a similar culture. • Replaces political ideology and traditional balance of power as the principal basis for cooperation and coalitions.
- 7. Redefining Civilization Identity Samuel Huntington’s Three Requirements For Torn Countries To Redefine Its Civilization Identity: • The Country’s economic and political elites have to enthusiastically endorse the transition. • Its public has to endorse whatever new definition is adopted. • Dominant groups in the recipient civilization have to embrace the convert.
- 8. West Vs. The Rest • Samuel P. Huntington stresses that civilization- consciousness is increasing and that global politics will be focused on "the West and the Rest." • This applies to conflicts between the Western powers, especially the United States, against "others.“ • The first conflict(s) will be between the West and several Islamic-Confucian states. • Samuel Huntington made these arguments in the article “The Clash of Civilizations (1993).”
- 9. American Military Power • The main reasons for the US to maintain such a high military expenditure are: US commitments on a global basis. US military forces must be able to project power to regions located thousands of miles away. US forces require high technology in order to defeat its enemies with limited casualties. US maintains a much more expensive all- volunteer force.
- 10. • Foreign policies are the strategies governments use to guide their actions in the international arena. Spell out the objectives state leaders have decided to pursue in a given relationship or situation. Foreign policy process: How policies are arrived at and implemented. Making Foreign Policy (1)
- 11. • Comparative foreign policy. Study of foreign policy in various states in order to discover whether similar types of societies or governments consistently have similar types of foreign policies. • Foreign policy outcomes result from multiple forces at various levels of analysis. Making Foreign Policy (2)
- 12. • Range of views on foreign policy issues held by the citizens of a state. • Has a greater influence on foreign policy in democracies than in authoritarian governments. Legitimacy Propaganda Journalists as gatekeepers Public Influences Policy (1)
- 13. • In democracies, public opinion generally has less effect on foreign policy than on domestic policy. Attentive public Foreign policy elite Rally ’round the flag syndrome Diversionary foreign policy Public Influences Policy (2)
- 14. • Conduit through which interest groups and public opinion can wield influence. Presidential systems; separate elections. Legislatures play a direct role in making foreign policy. Different rules apply, however, to the use of military force. –Rally ’round the flag. –May challenge the president if they have power of the “purse.” Legislatures (1)
- 15. • Parliamentary systems; political parties are dominant Often parliamentary executives do not need to submit treaties or policies for formal approval by the legislature. Call elections; new executive Legislatures play a key role in designing and implementing foreign policy. Legislatures (2)
