A fundamental problem facing new democracies is the hijacking of the political process by elites. Economic performance is affected by elite politics leading to underdevelopment and sometimes morphing into political violence. The transition from colonial regimes to democracy has been subverted by the harm that was done by the colonial subversion of traditional institutions in favor of artificial Western ones. This provided an opening for the rise of elites and the rule of ‘the big men’ (Owusu, 1992). What role do elites play in transition to democracy or its opposite? This paper seeks to provide an analysis on how ...

Since ancient history, China’s capability to be a dominant and influential actor in the world had made itself known as it grew as one of the oldest and influential civilizations to exist even in the modern world. The Chinese had introduced Eastern culture to the West and brought the West and the East together as they were one of the earliest traders and scholars. Throughout the times of the Great Wars, it is visible China did not make a significant role and have mostly concentrated on its own affairs regionally. However, in recent years, many are now noticing China’s ...

The debate between the neorealists and the neoliberals had swept the international relations theory for the past decade, especially in the United States. The ‘neo-neo’ debate had shifted the views of many theorists regarding the international system and the definition of what is international politics. Both neo-realism and neoliberalism are considered the progeny of the main theories of realism and liberalism respectively, presenting a new definition and framework to determine the nature of issue. Under these two progenies are also several versions, which diversifies the debate of both IR theories on issues pertaining to international relations and politics. However, while ...

As the world changes to become more technologically dependent, the need for power has risen to levels that the common sources of power cannot fully meet.

Introduction

Controversy has always characterized the study of international relations, particularly in terms of politics. The complexity of such field has enabled the applicability of many theoretical models in studying politics in the international arena. There could be no “one-size-fits-all” approach, as there is an understanding that several theories have attempted to explain phenomena within international relations. Three theories – neorealism, neoliberalism and classical realism, stand out as among the most prominent ones applicable in studying international relations, with each tending to construct distinctive interpretations.
This study seeks to establish that of the three aforementioned theories, classical realism stands out ...

Gender does not exist in a vacuum; there are distinct differences between man and woman that rest from a variety of sources, whether they be biological or environmental. Social cues and norms established over thousands of years have also contributed heavily to the attitudes of men and women toward each other. In order to understand each other better, the reasons why we behave the way we do around the opposite sex must be examined.

The study of gender differences rests within many different sociological theories. Two, in particular, are structural functionalism and conflict theory; in structural functionalism, gender is seen as a ...
