THE ORIGINS OF WORLD WAR I The origin of World War I included many factors, including the conflicts and antagonisms of the four decades leading up to the war. Militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism played major roles in the decisions taken by statesmen and generals during the “July crisis of 1914”, the spark (or ‘casus belli’) for which was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by Gavrilo Pricip, a nationalist Serb. However, the crisis did not exist in avoid. It came at the end of a long series of diplomatic clashes between the Great Powers in the decade prior to 1914 which had left tensions high almost to breaking point. Although World War I was triggered by this chain of events unleashed by the assassination, the war’s origins go deeper, involving national politics, cultures, economics, and a complex web of alliances and counterbalances that developed between the course of the nineteenth century, following the final 1815 defeat Napoleon Bonaparte and t...

International Relations Main Actors Review between state-nation actor and non-state actors in the world politics I. State Nation Actors in World Politics The practice and theory of international relations importantly which focuses on sovereign statehood, have commonly raised questions and debates. In order to relate those questions and arguments, traditional and new approaches are devised between IR scholars. One an extreme scholar groups have deliberately focused on the IR scope of study based on interstate relations. What they refer is an interstate relation that consists of state-nation as the main actor in international politics. Meanwhile, in respond to that, another group of scholars create idea that scope of IR study must have been dealing with human relations thoroughly. Due to differences above, the state system issued as the main point of reference for both. In response to that, I would mention about state system as a reference as another way to bridge those different insight...

However, dispute the negative and positive effects emerged...

ORIGIN AND DEFINITION To understand the contemporary world and the significance of globalization we need to consider the evolution of international society. The historical origin of international relations can only be a matter of speculation, but it was a time when people began to settle down on the land and form themselves into separate territory-based political communities. International society stands for relations between politically organized human groupings which occupy distinctive territories and enjoy and exercise a measure of independence from each other. International society can thus be conceived as society of political communities which are not under any higher political authority. The starting point of international relations is the existence of states, or independent political communities, each of which possesses a government and asserts sovereignty in relation to a particular portion of the earth’s surface and a particular segment of the human population. The earliest re...

INTRODUCTION Realism is also known well by term “political realism”. During international relations history together with the history of international politics and global politics, realism approaches along with different realism theories have been one of the underlying basic perspectives to understand why and how states act toward each others. in most of the IR studies and cases, realism has been a dominant theory because it’s able to provide the most logical statements okf qustions why states (recently and beforehand) inclined to engage in regular wars. the term of realism has broad branches, generally known are classical realism, neoclassical realism, neorealism (structural realism), strategic realism and modern realism (modified realism). although realism refers to above points, basically each has lots of similarities and slight differences in explaining how international system works. The obvious similarities among them is, they all share belief that states are primarily motivated ...
