Democratic peace theory states that democracies hardly fight each other because they share similar standards of “live-and-let-live” and domestic institutions that limit the option of war. The causal logics that reinforce democratic peace theory are, normative logic and institutional logic. Normative logic argues that an “effect of democracy is to socialize political elites to act on the basis of democratic norms whenever possible.” These standards order nonviolent conflict resolution and negotiation
Singapore an easy target for Malaysia, since its tiny land space makes it easier to be invaded and conquered in theory. Nevertheless, Malaysia has respected Singapore’s sovereignty since her independence and has yet to invade Singapore. The global political and economic landscape has shape-shifted
field in politics is based on core ideas of realists and liberalists. Although there is a clear division between two ideologies, current international affairs of many countries push the boundaries of such ideas and modify. Fathers of classical realism theory Thucydides, H. Morgenthau and E. Carr believe that nations act due to their selfish interests and concerns, their desire to dominate in the world is rational and natural. Whereas Kant and Hobbes, founders of liberalism, argue that liberalism pulls
and the Soviet Union. Each country controlled one section of Korea with its own governmental system, before later leaving Korea to rule on its own. The Korean War was caused by a growing fear of the spread of communism throughout the world (domino theory). It was also caused by differing viewpoints in Korea. North Korea, which had been controlled by the Soviet Union, was communist, while South Korea, formerly
Rational choice theory argues by the maximization of utility- which means a state first identifies and priorities its foreign policy goals (short term or long term goals) and then identifies and select from the means available to it which fulfills its aims with the least cost. It suggests that states often prefer cooperation to conflict and that in fact they have already constructed a ‘society of states’ . Given the wide scope of problems and possibility that the term rationality invokes, four fundamental
Research by: team one Team secretariat: Mostafa Sabry Subject of research: the domino theory Introduction: “You had a row of dominoes set up, and you knocked over the first one, and what would happen to the last one was the certainty that it would go over very quickly. So you could have a beginning of a disintegration that would have the most profound influences.” -Eisenhower- The domino theory was very clearly professed by the administration of the United States throughout the
to provide a causal link that explains how liberal domestic rights and institutions translate into an international liberal peace. First, I will outline the freedoms and institutions Doyle claims all liberal states agree upon, and therefore, have domestically. Then I will ventriloquize Doyle’s argument that domestic liberalism has led to an expanding zone of international peace because it has created mutual respect and trust which solve the security dilemma created by international anarchy, even if
United Nations (UN) peacekeeping was not primarily designed to intervene in conflicts and significant battle violence. Instead, it was developed as a tool to bolster ongoing conflict resolution efforts, primarily between countries. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) located in Central Asia, has one of the most significant records in its internal conflicts and UN resolutions. The DRC’s two wars (1996–97 and 1998–2003) were a concoction of intertwined conflicts. At the regional level, the DRC
Realism is an often overlooked theory in international relations, and it is fair to say that this approach to foreign policy is often overshadowed by other ideals in the world, namely liberalism and neo-conservatism, and the United States is no exception here. In this essay, I will explain how the United States does not act upon realist assumptions, and is in fact a country that is hinged on its liberal and neoconservative values, from the individual and bureaucratic levels respectively. I will outline
Social Contract Theory has exercise an enormous amount of impact on legal and social factors of western democratic state. Although different theorist have different point of view on social contract theory, but the main essence of their ideology is that legal society or state was the result of the contract formed by individual, then living in state of nature .Men used to live in the state of nature, where there were no rules and regulation or law to govern them and in order to escape the state of
