International Relations: Definition, History & Scope
International relations as a practice of interaction among states, and among state and non-state actors are thousands of years old
However, International Relations (IR) as an academic discipline studying these relations emerged as a specialized field after WW1.
Like every other academic discipline, International Relations (IR) has developed its own distinctive subject matter since its emergence
This presentation explains the scope and the subject matter of IR with the help of its five pillars- Aim, Actors, Agenda, Arena, and Actions

Future challenges to international security
The document outlines several structural challenges to international security, including terrorism, cyberterrorism, nuclear proliferation, China's rise, the crisis in the Middle East, corruption, and climate change. It provides details on each challenge, such as how terrorism is difficult to define but has been an effective tactic, how cyberterrorism allows terrorists to wage war in cyberspace, and how climate change will cause global instability and pressure on resources.

Making of the u.s foreign policy
Looking at historical background and the process of creating and applying the United States Foreign Policy
The monroe doctrine
The Monroe Doctrine was a US foreign policy introduced in 1823 that stated the Americas should be free from future European colonization and that the US would view any European power's attempt to oppress or control independent countries in North or South America as hostile to the US. It was influenced by Britain and helped establish the US-UK special relationship by aligning their interests. While initially the doctrine strengthened newly independent Latin American countries, later extensions like the Roosevelt Corollary were criticized for enabling US imperialism in the region through military intervention.
Global Issues - International Security
The document discusses the tension between state sovereignty and international governance in matters of international security. It provides an overview of different approaches to humanitarian intervention, democracy and good governance promotion, and international criminal tribunals that have challenged the traditional concept of absolute state sovereignty. While globalization has increased calls for intervention, implementation remains inconsistent and challenges include lack of political will, selective application depending on strategic interests, and tension between universal values and local contexts.

The Monroe Doctrine was a policy initiated by President James Monroe in 1823 that aimed to limit European colonial expansion in the Western Hemisphere. It declared that further efforts by European nations to colonize land or interfere with states in North or South America would be viewed as acts of aggression requiring U.S. intervention. While originally intended to discourage European influence over former Spanish colonies, it established the principle that the Americas were under the U.S. sphere of influence and off limits to future European colonization.

The Progressive Presidents
Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909. As president, he aggressively used antitrust laws to curb the power of large corporations and established numerous national parks and forests. Roosevelt was a progressive reformer who took on big business and advocated for consumer protection regulations. His successor, William Howard Taft, carried on some of Roosevelt's policies but had a more conservative agenda of his own. Woodrow Wilson defeated both Roosevelt and Taft in the 1912 election by appealing to progressives and promising a "New Freedom" agenda of business regulation.
China and globalization
China has increasingly globalized and integrated into the world economy since 1978. It is now the world's largest exporter, manufacturer, importer of raw materials, and holder of foreign exchange reserves. China has developed high-tech industries and uses special economic zones, trade agreements, and foreign investment to continue its economic growth and ensure access to resources and markets. However, China's rapid industrialization has also made it the largest emitter of carbon dioxide and present challenges in balancing economic needs with environmental protection.
Timeline: Cultural Revolution
1) The Great Leap Forward failed in the late 1950s, resulting in a massive famine that killed over 20 million people.
2) In the early 1960s, Mao lost some power and moderates implemented more realistic economic policies to address the famine.
3) In the mid-1960s, Mao launched the Cultural Revolution to remove capitalist and traditional influences and consolidate his power, forming the Red Guards student militia who spread violence and chaos.
4) By the late 1960s, order was restored but the Cultural Revolution continued political turmoil and cost many young people their education. Mao remained in power until his death in 1976.

The document discusses incremental design and receiving feedback. It advocates breaking large projects into smaller backlogs that are implemented one at a time. This allows for receiving feedback on individual features and making adjustments before moving on. The document shows an example project that was originally planned as two large backlogs, but was actually implemented through eight smaller, incremental backlogs based on feedback, with some original features cut and new ones added.
Private limited company
A private limited company is the most common type of limited company registered in the UK. It is comprised of 2 to 50 shareholders who have limited liability for the company's debts. To set up a private limited company, documents including the memorandum of association, articles of association, and list of directors must be filed with the Registrar of Companies to obtain a certificate of incorporation. Once incorporated, a private limited company allows shareholders to retain control over the company's destiny rather than risk losing control by offering shares publicly.

Selection bias caused by eligibility for bevacizumab
Eligibility criteria for bevacizumab (BV) exclusion factors like cardiovascular disease, history of hemoptysis, and major blood vessel invasion may introduce selection bias. A study of 576 NSCLC patients treated before BV approval found those meeting BV criteria had better outcomes. BV-eligible patients had median overall survival of 14.8 months versus 7.1 months for ineligible patients. BV eligibility was a strong prognostic factor for survival and time to treatment failure independent of other factors. Selection bias from modified eligibility criteria must be considered in interpreting trial results.

The day the world changed
The document discusses the causes of the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001. It lists 12 factors that contributed to why the attacks happened:
1) Bin Laden believed the US was weak and would withdraw troops after attacks, but 9/11 instead led to the destruction of the Taliban and decimation of al Qaeda.
2) 9/11 was seen by Bin Laden's followers as necessary to defend their radical interpretation of Islam amidst a global community increasingly aware of conflicts in the Islamic world due to new communications technologies.
3) Authoritarian regimes in the Middle East radicalized militants like Bin Laden, while discrimination faced by Muslim immigrants in the West also turned some towards militancy.
Sept 11
The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks changed America's view of the world. Nineteen Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airplanes, crashing two into the World Trade Center towers, one into the Pentagon, and one crashed in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed. In response, the United States launched a war in Afghanistan to defeat Al Qaeda and the Taliban regime. The US also increased domestic security and later invaded Iraq, though no weapons of mass destruction were found there.

Every adult in America can tell you where they were when airplanes began to crash into important American landmarks on September 11, 2001 killing thousands of innocent Americans. The international terrorist attack forever changed America and woke the country up to the potential threats facing the nation. This day will never be forgotten and any illusions of safety have forever been shattered. Never before have there been an international terrorist attack on American soil this devastating. Nineteen Islamic extremists hijack four American airplanes murdering thousands of innocent Americans. The events on 9/11 resulted in the death of over 3,000 Americans with 400 being first responders that went into the Twin Towers in order to rescue the injured.
Participants, Planning, Objectives, and Execution
The attacks on 9/11 were committed by 19 Islamic terrorists that made up different terrorists cells in the country. The 19 men entered the country legally, obtained legitimate jobs, and quietly planned the devastating attacks. The success of the September 11 plot depended on the ability of the hijackers to obtain visas and pass an immigration and customs inspection in order to enter the United States (). The 19 terrorist were also able to go undetected in the country for several years while along making contact with members of the Al Qaeda terrorist group and planning the devastating attacks. At no time were the terrorists detected or the devastating attacks would have failed.
The planning for the attacks began with the twenty three visas that were applied for by Islamic extremists bent on becoming martyrs for Islam. Out of the twenty three visas twenty two were granted. Several of the men entered the country to attend universities that would give them the necessary skills to pilot a 747 aircraft. The terrorist began entering the country in January of 2000 and many were successful in leaving the country and having no problems with reentry. The hijackers entered the country through Floridian airports and airports in New York and Washington, D.C.
The four pilots responsible for flying the planes into buildings are Mohammed Atta, Hani Hanjour, Ziad Samir Jarra, and Marwan al Shehhi but there were other hijackers being trained to fulfill the pilot positions. The four pilots were able to enter and exit the country 17 times without being detected. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the mastermind behind the attacks while Ali Abdul Aziz Ali was the group’s financial facilitator. Only one of the hijackers entered the country on an academic visa while the others entered the country on tourist visas. Of all of the hijackers that entered the country only two were interviewed by customs agents.
The hijackers entered the country on six month visa and many obtained legitimate identification. It was important to retain the appearance of leg ...

Osama bin Laden - power point presentation
1. Osama bin Laden was the founder of the militant Islamist group al Qaeda and a key figure in radical Islamic terrorism.
2. He was born in Saudi Arabia in 1957 to a wealthy family but became radicalized in the late 1970s during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
3. On May 2nd, 2011, bin Laden was killed in a U.S. military operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan, ending a decade-long manhunt.
Terrorism & September 11th
Terrorism involves violent acts that deliberately target or disregard civilian safety in order to promote fear and are carried out for religious, political, or ideological goals. Tactics used by terrorists include guns, explosives, hijacking vehicles, and cyber attacks. Examples of modern terrorism include al-Qaeda, a global Sunni Islamist militant group founded by Osama bin Laden in the late 1980s, and terrorist attacks carried out by groups in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, was killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan in 2011.
9-11 USA
The document provides an overview of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and their aftermath. It discusses how 19 hijackers took control of 4 planes on September 11, 2001, crashing two into the World Trade Center towers, one into the Pentagon, and one into a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed. The US blamed Al-Qaeda and invaded Afghanistan, where Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011. The attacks had major health, economic, and social impacts both in the US and globally, increasing distrust of Muslims. Some researchers and theorists have argued US agencies had advance knowledge or were complicit in the attacks.
Terrorism 3rd Period Presentation Guyer
On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism. Some conspiracy theorists believe the U.S. government may have been complicit in the attacks, but al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for planning and executing them.
World trade center
The document provides details about the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center towers in New York City. It describes the timeline of events, including the hijacking of 4 commercial planes that were flown into the towers and the Pentagon, resulting in nearly 3,000 deaths. It questions aspects of the official story, such as whether the hijackers have actually been identified and if video of the planes hitting the towers existed. It suggests the attacks may have been an inside job rather than the work of Al-Qaeda alone.
The Post 911 Islamic War
On September 11, 2001, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airplanes, crashing two into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, one into the Pentagon near Washington D.C., and a fourth into a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In response, the United States launched a War on Terrorism, invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban regime that had harbored al-Qaeda. The document also discusses divisions within the Muslim world between Sunni and Shia populations and the need for improved education systems in some Muslim-majority countries.
Us news2
The document discusses the Syrian crisis and the role of the US. It claims that the US wants a perpetual state of war to benefit weapons manufacturers and bankers. It alleges that groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS were originally formed with CIA support to fight US proxy wars and have now backfired. The document argues there are currently three wars being fought in Syria between the government and rebels, Saudi Arabia and Iran, and the US and Russia, and that the US policy in the region is driven by interests in oil and supporting Israel.

AP Gov't Chap 1 Intro to Gov't
This chapter introduces key concepts about government and politics. It discusses the importance of government and politics in shaping society. While government and politics significantly impact people's lives, many Americans are uninformed or apathetic about these issues. The chapter outlines learning objectives about the functions of government, different aspects of politics, how policymaking works, principles of democracy, and debates around the proper scope of government. It seeks to educate students about these fundamental topics in civics.
Articles of Confederation
The Articles of Confederation established the first constitution of the United States from 1776-1787. It created a weak central government with a unicameral Congress consisting of one delegate per state and no executive branch. Congress had limited powers and it was difficult to pass laws or amendments. Dissatisfaction grew due to conflicts between states, debt, economic troubles, and uprisings like Shays' Rebellion. This led figures like Hamilton and Madison to call the Philadelphia Convention to draft a new constitution and replace the Articles of Confederation with a stronger central government.
Economics review
This document provides an overview of different economic systems including capitalism, socialism, and communism. It defines key characteristics of each system such as the role of private ownership, government involvement, competition, and choice.

The document also describes the congressional election process and outlines some of the key advantages that incumbents have over challengers in elections.
Economic theories
This document discusses different economic theories including capitalism, socialism, and communism. Capitalism is based on private ownership and free enterprise, while socialism believes wealth should be distributed publicly and communism involves total government control over the economy. Karl Marx proposed communism as a solution to inequality between social classes, believing workers should unite and control the means of production.
The State
This document discusses the key features and purposes of government. The four essential features of the state are population, territory, sovereignty, and government. State and country generally have the same meaning and refer to a political community with definite boundaries and an independent government. There are around 200 countries in the world today, though the exact number is difficult to determine. The main purposes of government are to maintain social order, provide national security, make economic decisions, and provide essential public services. Examples of each purpose are given such as courts, police, and laws for social order and the military and alliances for national security.

The document discusses the history of civil rights movements and legislation regarding minorities, women, people with disabilities, and other groups. It outlines key Supreme Court cases and amendments that have shaped understandings of equality, discrimination, and equal protection under the law over time.
Chapter 07 Mass Media

Interest Groups
Interest groups are organizations that represent shared policy goals and try to influence the policy process. They pursue their goals through lobbying, gaining access to decision makers, litigation, and going public to mobilize support. There are many theories that explain interest group influence, including pluralism, which argues groups compete democratically, and elite theory, which claims a powerful upper class rules. Successful interest groups are small to avoid free rider problems, focus on intense issues, and have financial resources to access politicians. They use propaganda techniques like plain folks, transfer, and bandwagon appeals to shape public opinion.
Public Opinion and Political Participation
The document provides an overview of public opinion and political participation in the US. It discusses how Americans learn about politics through socialization agents like family, education, and media.
