Thesis Statement: In the aftermath of Cold War, a peaceful and stable world order emerged. However, this current unipolar stability, is being challenged by the “rise of the new powers” which would result in a return to a multi-polar international system. A. Samuel Huntingtons’s Unipolar International System • Westernization • Clash of Civilization B. Fareed Zakaria’s Multi-Polar International System • Declination of United States • Rise of the Rest Conclusion: In the contrasting view of political
Communism was spreading fast and each of the Cold War Presidents knew they needed to try to stop it. The Cold War was a time after WWII where many countries had different views on politics causing a great deal of tension. The American Anthem textbook says that George F. Kennan created the Policy of Containment to stop the Soviets from spreading communism to other countries (Ayers, et al 819). The first Cold war president, Truman, was also the first president to use atomic weaponry. He chose to drop
the great powers. These great powers are states that are globally high ranking in terms of military prowess, being economically powerful, has a global spheres of interest, and has a foreign policy that would have an impact on world affairs (Heywood, 2011). As an advocate of offensive realism, John Mearsheimer assumes that because international system is anarchic and there is no central authority to safeguard states from hostilities among themselves, the primary goal of the great powers then is survival

Immediately after the September 11, 2001, attacks and the invasion of Afghanistan, US officials declared Southeast Asia as a “second front” in the global war against terrorism. The Bali bombings in 2002 and 2005 and other terrorist attacks in Indonesia and the Philippines confirm
The acquisition of power had transformed through time. In the medieval times, it was in the form of directly colonizing other countries in order to expand one’s territory, while it has transformed to manipulating different key factors, such as the market, global politics, media, and even culture, in the modern times. One could, in fact, argue that international power is now quantifiable by influence and economic power, rather than territorial land and military power in the past. A perspective would
1.0 INTRODUCTION The Charter of the United Nations is the foundational treaty of the newly created intergovernmental organization that emerged from World War II. This international treaty sets out basic principles of international relations. The UN Charter is a relatively short treaty of less than 9,000 words. To some extent, the secret of the UN Charter’s survival has depended on its concise character. Again, the “constitutionalization” of international law is one of the most intensely debated issues

While there is no central authority preventing Malaysia from doing what she wishes, there are numerous platforms available for regular communication and discussion between the two countries to use soft measures to resolve their issues instead of resorting to violence. Consultation, communication, compromise and cooperation are the key elements in shaping the nature of Malaysia-Singapore relations, therefore maintaining a peaceful and non-violent

Her mother’s finding work, her father’s dead. They wish for proper meals, nice things to eat. They don’t even have a mattress or bed, No shelters to go to, just the cold street. “Things will get better,” her mother does say. The both of them so want that to be true.

CHAPTER TWO LITERATURE REVIEW 2.0 Introduction Over the past decades, the urge to increase foreign aid’s effectiveness has motivated numerous empirical studies to identify why aid programmes succeeds or fails. These studies underpinned the donor community’s attempt in the late 1990s to reform aid delivery, shifting from predominantly stand-alone projects and conditionality- led stand- structural adjustment programs toward partnerships and mutual accountability (World Bank, 1998).
