Essays on Neoliberalism

Family Rights

1. Polyandry relationships provide for marriage system in which a woman can have more than one husband. Speaking from the historical perspective, the emergence of such marital arrangement in Tibet is related to the fact that the social system compelled marriage within a social status category.To understand the Tibetans' practice of polyandry, "it must be realized that Tibetan families consider it of great importance to keep together, without any division, whatever property they possess" (Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark, 1962, p. 414). That is the reason why husbands are often brothers or close relatives, which is referred to ...

The political elements of Star Trek show that the series had more insight than what is apparent. The show started in the 1960s when the Cold War was at its height. Many authorities argue that Star Trek is an exploration based on self-interest, colonialism, collectivism and control . However, George Gonzalez takes a different approach in The Politics of Star Trek where he undertakes a critical review of the story within the context of the actual implications of the actions of the characters. This paper will review the first two chapters of the book in order to present the critical ...

Every period in the history of a country differs not only in a number and sequence of events happening, people playing critical roles in it, or culture which defines people’s attitudes and behaviors. They also differ in perception of things and events by people, hence the variety of meanings people associate with certain ideas. It is true that meaning of an idea changes with the flow of time depending on historical environment, on the complex of events which happen in the given period. Therefore, the idea of freedom has been changing through American history, and the goal of ...

Management

The nature and scope of strategic management has been fundamentally transformed by neoliberalism. Discuss.

Introduction

It must be brought to light that modifications and changes in the social and political system in the external environment can certainly bring changes in the way businesses and institutions work. This is because the field of management and business is strongly influenced by the changes taking place in the external environment. When political scenario undergoes radical changes and social movements begin to rise, then the way management in business is being carried out also undergoes some form of modification to keep up with the ...

Introduction

The majority of today’s economic commentators and politicians are opined that capitalism is the best way to build a perfect society. Furthermore, several research studies demonstrated that this assumption is also deeply ingrained in the contemporary public opinion of many Americans, who strongly believe that the current system of income distribution is the shortest way to making the American, and, possibly, the international society completely egalitarian (Robibson & Santos 9). Many people from the developing countries believe that the American economic system provides is the best way to make it possible for everyone in the country, as well as ...

Context of Globalization

Context of Globalization

Introduction

This paper examines how the concept of globalization is useful in comprehending changes in our society, and also explores how neoliberalism has driven the direction of these transformations. It discusses the notion of globalization, historical concepts that led to social changes and philosophical tenets that form neoliberalism.

Globalization is a term which explains transformations in the economy, politics, culture and social aspects around the world. The concept of globalization eliminates geopolitical boundaries between countries and promotes the global movement of products, services, and labor. Although many sociologists have explored the idea of globalization, they have not ...

Some of the prevailing social and economic problems in America are attributed to the neoliberalism in the country. This paper suggests that neoliberalism in America is the cause of 2008 financial crises, inequality, the detrimental situation for workers and the economic growth, reduced social welfare, and aggravated crime.

Economic Impact

One of the major economic impacts of the neoliberalism in America is the 2008 financial crises. Among the other white collar crimes associated to the neoliberalism, financial crime is another nightmare attributed to the introduction of the free market. According to Burton (10), various studies have indicated that the neoliberalism in ...

Such already explains how the concept of globalization has facilitated the relocation of goods from their original center of production to other markets. Additionally, the production of fast foods as well as other food items relates to globalization in the form of migration of human labor, displacement of individuals from their original land of residence, and the concept of global circulation of the workforce. Such shifts resulting from the dynamics associated with production have to do with the nature in which large organizations and brands such as The Yum Brands can control the global markets of their agribusiness products. ...

How Real is "Reality TV"?

Nowadays television takes a lot of time because of diversity of programs proposed. One is able to find something according to his demands and preferences. TV gives the audience the views about current matters of the world and news about changes brought to society. One cannot resist the influence television carries, so he falls under the beauty of the staged programs. One of the most popular types of these programs is reality TV, which gives the ability to relax and spend some time watching the lives of actors on screen. People are not likely to watch programs of not ...

Introduction

This literature seeks to explore the correlation between class issues and schooling based on an Australian model of study. Most of the authors in this review agree that there is a correlation between class issues and the way schools are perceived and operated. The rise of neoliberalism has led way to an induction of creating a greater divide between the haves and have nots. Australian schools have shifted from the dynamics of the 1970s and 1980’s where the idea of a more balanced school system was part of educational reform. However, as of 2009 this has shifted and ...

Contemporary capitalism can be termed as a concept that mainly lingers on the around Marxism in regards to the ‘periodization’ of capitalism. According to Streeck, the long debates that hint contemporary capitalism aim to bring huge changes in the basis of social reproduction. This also challenges the characteristics of the trends of capitalism that seem not to be clear and identifying new trends and features that present themselves across regions, sectors and countries. This paper aims to give an insight on the paradigms that make up capitalism. In the same order, it explains the available alternatives that exist to ...

Introduction

Nowadays, the rise of women empowerment has provided a huge lift towards the promotion of gender equality and independence. For the past several decades, men are always considered as more dominant human beings. They hold political power, provide the basic necessities for the family, and are able to handle certain issues at work with ease and confidence. They are even much stronger and tougher than women in terms of their physical attributes. Nonetheless, the mark of their liberation and equal human rights has provided each and every woman a glimpse on how to act and be equally related with ...

Neoliberalism is a politico-economic theory that has been used widely in the study of social sciences. It supports massive economic policies such as privatization, free trade, deregulation, fiscal austerity and it advocates for governments to cut their spending so as to enhance and augment the role that the private sector plays in the economy. The lecture by Derrick Hamilton was meant to explore how this theory has contributed to a racial wealth gap and its effects on businesses and the economy in general. The ‘Neoliberalism and Racial Wealth Gap’ lecture was an eye opener to the massive flaws of ...

Introduction

“Neo” generally means the new ways of doing things. Neoliberalism will therefore refer to new strategies which are used to improve the economic, political or social status. This paper examines how different women from different races are used to bring about an image perceived by the implementers to be positive and in line with improving the social and economic status of the society. The paper portrays an image of poor women from developing countries, how they are used as a tool in achieving neoliberalism and how most of them become passive victims of the circumstances. The paper also focuses ...

Introduction

Neoliberalism is both an economic and political ideology which proposes a new way in which states are restricted from interfering with the economic affairs and general day to day dealings of their private citizens. This concept was developed by Adam Smith in 1770 when he posited that government should not be allowed to be involved in the economy of the country and initially it was called liberalism. This stance borrowed heavily from the laissez faire principle which required that traders should be let free to negotiate their own terms of engagement. Adam’s conception was challenged in ...

Brown’s work is a clarion call to democratic action. Advanced democracies today have always tried to think rationally about the neoliberal government. The article seeks to explore the nature of transformation for both an individual and state in neoliberalism into self-standing entrepreneurial units which may be compelled to contend for investment in other such units. Therefore, this is defined as the eclipse of homo politicus by the all-encompassing political figure of homo economicus. The primary aim of the book as the title indicates is to explain that neoliberalism has continued to render the democratic and independent political agency ...

Financial crisis is not a new word in today's economy. The world's economy has consistently been a victim of the financial crisis, and these cases will continue to happen. The global financial crisis in 2008 relates to the 1930's great depression that nearly brought down the economy of the United States. The actors in the financial sector have grown big and are becoming uncontrollable. These financial institutions have now become tough to monitor and control. Government and central banks have a duty of controlling commercial structures through proper supervision and regulation of financial market (Flannery 275). Due to the ...

1.1 Background developments

Traditionally, accounting standards have been developed by different countries on the basis of local legal, economical and cultural institutions frameworks (Elliott and Elliott, 2009, p. 158). As a result, the standard setting was very country specific. With the globalization process at work for the last 3-4 decades and increasing mobility of capital internationally accepted accounting standards have become necessary to facilitate cross border transactions and make financial reporting comparable between countries and companies thereby leading to a greater transparency for investors (Nobes, 2004). IASB has been set up as a private international standard setter with a mandate to create high quality accounting standards ...

This paper concentrates on financial strategies and judges their prosperity focused around their effect on development and neediness decrease. The Millennium Development Goal of splitting compelling pay destitution by 2015 communicates the accord of the worldwide advancement group that neediness decrease is of overriding essentialness. There is likewise agreement that national neediness lessening methodologies and Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers specifically, are an essential vehicle for centering national arrangements on decreasing destitution. Underneath this obvious agreement, there are, be that as it may, huge contrasts.

Humorously, this is an ideological stance that neoliberals themselves ...

1. Some hyper-globalizers claim we live in a borderless world where states don’t matter. Critique this claim by providing specific examples of the role of state in the context of globalization.

While globalization is incredibly powerful because the borderless world allows for the transfer of jobs, resources to be extracted and mobile individuals to access markets overseas, the role of the state is more important than ever. Amartya Sen's essay "Globalization, Inequality and Global Protest" makes the argument that a globalized world seeks a workforce that is educated, in good health and relatively “free” in order to maximize opportunities for ...

QUESTION 1:

The two types of demands for economic security are limited and absolute security. The limited type of security can be achieved for all. On the other hand, absolute security is not achievable in a free society. Hayek (2007) says that an absolute security is not up for an offer except under some circumstances. One of these is the case of judges. They are given total independence. He says that the first type of security is against severe privacy in physical terms. The second type accommodates a set standard life. Further, on, he says that if a society has self-actualized; that is, it ...

Reaction Paper Chapters 3.1 & 3.2 Chapter 3.1 of the Introduction Globalization: Analysis and Readings edited by Edited by Richard W. Mansbach and by Edward J. Rhodes is entitled Neoliberalism as Creative Destruction and was written by David Harvey. It sees neoliberalism as having realized dismal results in stimulating economic growth. It cites the growth rates of 3.5% in the 1960s and 2.4% in the 1970s. Then compares that to the 1.1% growth seen in the 1980 & 1990s, and the even worse performance in the twentieth century that is less than 1% growth. Among the causes, it sees privatization, ...

Question 2: Guard Dogs & Watch Dogs

Corporate America had grown so powerful and pervasive that it can manipulate the government and its agencies to further its goals. Ideally, the government, which comprises the executive, Congress, and the judiciary, is expected to regulate the economy. While the judiciary has remained largely independent (even though ideological factors still play a role), Congress and the executive have become too deeply entangled with private individuals and firms that policy decision-making is not always driven by public interest. Harvey (2007) argues that the rise of neoliberalism in key countries across the world has seen the reduction of the power of organized ...

Neo-liberalism can be termed as a resurgence of ideas whose advocates are in the support of economic philosophy, reduction in the spending of the government and free trade. It is used as a tool that will enhance the existence of the private sector in the economy. The usage of the term has changed in the modern day and is used in the referring to different critics by politicians. The well-known use of the word denotes to reforms in the economy that may include the eliminating of price controls, lowering of barriers to trade, deregulating the capital markets and reducing of influence ...

Introduction

The money supply in Canada was reducing. The ratio of single mothers was rising, and the market of prostitution was getting hot as well. The percentage growth of suicides in the country was overwhelming to say the least. All of the determinants previously discussed pointed out to one and only one trend that was social and economic inequality. The natural system works in such a way that it makes sure that everyone can get their due share of income and livelihood, but in Canada, human factor was so corrupt that they were unduly influencing the money supply in the country. ...

Introduction

This essay shall explain in academic, journal-level language, what neoliberal urbanization is. The task requires the student to imagine that he or she has been invited by the editor of Canadian Dimension, to write about the neoliberal urbanization situation in Toronto. The description involves two main ideas. The first concept describes how neoliberal urbanization is characterized, in terms of the transformation of urban space and types of re-structuring of multi-scalar politics. Exploring this aspect speaks to class, gender, and race politics as witnessed ascriptive identity – which is connected with neoliberal urbanization, in general. The second idea explains neoliberal urbanization’ ...

Introduction

Richard Swift has posed an argument that American politics is suffering from “Weak Democracy.” He further argues that in order for the US to have a “Strong Democracy” then the American people must “Democratize the Economy” and “Democratize Democracy.” There are many supporting evidences that Swift provided to justify such arguments. Nevertheless, this essay while agreeing with Swift that the US is indeed suffering from “weak democracy,” refutes his arguments on how to bring about a “strong democracy.” This essay stands on the argument that the United States of America, its people and its politics are, in fact, examples of “weak democracies.” ...

Introduction

Neoliberalism is a form of economic liberalism that offers support on free trade, deregulation, privatisation and reduction in government spending with the aim of enhancing the role of private sector in the economy. Privatization focuses on transferring the control of a given economy from public sector to the private sector. The policy does this with the aim of enhancing efficiency of the government, economic growth and development of the nation (Harvey, 2005). It is also an economic policy that focuses on monitoring the flow of the market economy thus playing a role in intensifying and expanding the market. It does this ...

Question 1. Neo-liberalization vs. Financialization Neoliberalism refers to a political movement that emerged in the 1960s, which combines old-style liberal worries for social justice with a highlighting on the growth of the economy (Fouskas and Bülent, 39). On the other hand, financialization is described as a process or system that advocates for a growing role of financial markets, financial motives, financial institutions, and financial actors in the setup of local and global economies. The rise and fall of the golden age of capitalism is attributed two major policies. First, the full employment policies, production in large quantities due to increasing ...

The British gave Hong Kong‘s sovereignty to the Mainland China in the year 1997. The public administrators in the mainland China expected Hong Kong to commit to the agreements made. The diversity between the two places contributed to the emergence of conflicts, for instance, Hong Kong financial system was transparent while the Mainland’s system was corrupt. The Hong Kong citizens argue that the Mainland China has abused their civil rights; this has led to the establishment of political movements to fight for people’s rights. It is imperative to assess whether neo-conservatism, liberalism, or Marxism aspects are ...

Introduction

This study aims to explore how the manifestation of mercantilism has provided support to globalization. There is an understanding that financial developments have helped sustain globalization amidst internal hindrances mostly involving the emergence of monopolies and external interferences in the form of market globalization. At the same time, however, financial developments became a sustainer of globalization due to its depreciative effects to excess capital. It is therefore noteworthy to investigate globalization, in light of the events that triggered the global financial crisis of 2008 – something that this study seeks to discuss (Blankenburg & Palma, 2009; Boyer, 2000, pp. 111-145; Helleiner, 1995, ...

Ne Neoliberalism refers to politically motivated ideologies that allowed shifting of economic factors from the public sector to the private sector. According to these ideologies, a government encourages private investors through a series of policies and changes in the market structure. For instance, governments initiated tax reforms in broadening of the tax base, reduced deficit spending, imposed limitation on subsidies, withdrawal of fixed exchange regime, and encouraged privatization. Neoliberalism in the Middle East and Egypt had a significant impact on the socioeconomic and political perspective. Neoliberalism in Egypt ensured free market and private enterprises regardless of socially harmful inflicted on the society ( ...

This essay argues that, neoliberalism has created a continuum of deservedness, one that favours some groups in their claims to social rights, while at the same time inhibiting others. The Themes essay covers corporate and globalization policies, conflict resolution, and foreign policies. Since the advent of neo-colonialism, its main objective has been to remove all the barriers of commerce among the economies of the world, and the privatization of all the available services and resources. Therefore, in this context, public life is placed at the mercy of the market forces, while the extracted profits only benefits the few social elites. ...

Latin American countries had adopted capitalism as an economic system that arose from the industrialized Europe and the more developed United Sates. However, capitalism did not solve the societal problems of many Latin American societies. Instead, capitalism created a society where a group of elites controlled the state and the economy of many Latin American countries. Even with the rapid economic development that many Latin American countries experienced in 19th century, economic development was not witnessed among the lower middle class and the peasant farmers. Abject poverty was still a feature of a large percentage of the Latin American populace. The urban poor ...

Introduction

Non-governmental organizations refer to corporations that have been legally constituted by people and they operate independently without any government interference. They are organizations that operate on their own constitution and help the social in tackling problems that are related to politics, economic and social factors. They operate as nonprofit making organization and are funded partly by well-wishers or government but they exclude government representatives from their membership. They do not however operate like political parties but help to pursue social views in issues related to politics in a given area or region. There are many organizations in the world that ...

Introduction

Free trade entails an unhampered sale and purchase of goods and services between different countries with no apparent constraints that stems from tax levy, tariff execution and implementation of duties (Fridell 9). Essentially, free trade enables a country to profoundly concentrate on their competitive advantages hence maximizing output and fuelling the economic growth of the citizens consequently. Evidently, the economy of those countries that adopted free trade much earlier are seen to prosper a fact that concur with the notion that free trade is a possible route towards developmental catch up. The growth of those countries that adopted free trade earlier particularly ...

Introduction

Neo-liberalism or rather neoliberal policies encompass a dominant social, political and economic model built upon the diminished role of the state whose role is relegated to the administration of poverty and the management of social conflict. This is usually meant to ensure the non-interference with corporate profits. This model is further characterized by the abandonment by the state of its roles as the representative and mediator in the midst of other social actors. The effect of such neoliberal policies is that the social territory is left to the mechanisms of the market with no or little interference by the state. ...

Emma Bonino’s article “The Arab Spring Label is over. The Arab struggle for a better future is not” is an investigative look at the success and the failures of the Arab spring that started in Tunisia in the month of December 2010. Bonino argues that while the Arab Spring would be perceived as a sudden outburst, it was a gradual process of simmering emotions on the people about the authoritarian regimes in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Tunisia and others. However, while looking at what happened in Egypt in the summer of 2013, one can almost certainly argue that while the Arab spring ...

Neoliberalism is responsible for most of the economic problems we are experiencing today. This paper concurs with the argument. Ideally, neoliberalism refers to a new form of liberalism. Neoliberalism was popularized in the 1930s with the intention of deregulating markets. It essentially refers to the reduction of government action in the market. This leads to free enterprise where private players are let to determine their own destiny with minimum government involvement. Ideally, markets need an amount of regulation and the consequential deregulation has seen a stretch that is too thin than what implementers bargained for. This paper seeks to argue that ...

Effect on Reducing Deficits and Stabilizing Prices

In a recent opinion editorial, American literary theorist, legal scholar, and public intellectual Stanley Fish decided to use a definition for neoliberalism provided by political thinker and writer Paul Treanor (2009). Fish stated that Treanor holds that neoliberalism is a philosophy where the existence and operation the market are valued separate from the production of goods and services, to the point of deliberately not justifying the market by its goods and services production. This creates an ethic based on the operation the market alone, and this resulting ethic is asserted as being capable of acting as a guide for all human action, substituting ...

Introduction

The term ‘industrial relations’ was coined in the 18th century and was commonly used in nations like North America and Great Britain. Subsequently the term personnel management came to be applied and then the evolution of human resource management as an internal body of the organization was evolved in 1980s. The above mentioned three terms represent both academic enquiry and practical task. The term industrial relations, in the beginning, was largely associated with public sector and manufacturing organizations and left out large private sector firms. Also the existence of industrial relations and trade unionism were synonymous. This is mainly ...

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 ...

Globalization

Over the years, neoliberalism has come to rival liberalism as a political ideology. This is in tandem with the suggestion that liberalism, as a political ideology, has gone through change to reemerge as a neoliberalism. To this end, there exists a suggestion as to the existence of a common experience for both concepts. A general definition of neoliberalism states that neoliberalism is a political ideology inclined towards favorable constitutional changes in bid at achieving democracy and freedom . On the other hand, the definition of neoliberalism is encapsulates it as a “a modified form of traditional liberalism.” Liberalism took root as a political slogan in Spain and Sweden and ...

Introduction

Over the past decade, China has expanded its diplomatic, economic and political activities in many nations. China’s presence is more pronounced in the African continent, as the country seeks to develop closer geopolitical partnershipswith African states. Unlike the West that has little, if any, history of cooperation with China, Chinese leaders believe that given Africa’s longstanding political history with China, the continent offers immense opportunities for future partnerships (Nye, 2004, p.31). This has been viewed as some kind of generalization and exceptionalism of China’s activities in Africa. Based on various theoretical concepts and perspectives, this ...

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 ...

According to western definition, civilization is a form of human culture where a lot of people live in urban centers having mastered the skills of metal smelting as well as developed art of writing and reading Spielvogel, 2010. Most of this form of civilization began in the big cities that were more populated and more complex in social, economic and political dimensions Campbell-Dunn, 2008. The ability to conceptualize civilization will help in grasping the western civilization. It is a totality of the history of the people, the expectations of the people and their way of life, their frustrations, and aspirations and desires ...

Introduction

An initially challenge faced by any scholar attempting to study neoliberal ideology in more detail is the apparent lack of written literature on neoliberalism from a neutral or sympathetic point of view. In real sense, everyone writing about the ideology do so as part of a critique of the ideology. According to this critical analysis, neoliberalism refers to the rejuvenation and spread of one specific aspect of liberal tradition, namely economic liberalism. Funder mentally, economical liberalism refers to the notion that states should abstain from intervening in the economy, and instead leave space for individuals to participate freely in self-regulated markets. ...

The purpose of this research paper is to determine what the term neo liberalism means and the impact of neo liberalism in the modern day political economic and social agenda. This paper will assess the impact of neo liberalism in the United States of America as well as in any other country where global capitalism is in effect. It will provide an account of neo liberalism as a set of concepts and principles. The paper will seek explain how the various sets of principle that are part and parcel of the neo liberalism are being implemented by governments. It will ...

What is Neoliberalism?

Neo-liberalism has always been liked to “privatization,” “deregulation,” “decentralization,” or “tax reform.” The famous definition of neo-liberalism is by Paul Treanor who defined it under the book “Neoliberalism: Origins, Theory, Definition” as: “a philosophy valuing the market existence and operation as it is, distinct from any of its previous links with the production of goods and services . . . and where the market and similar structure’s mechanics are seen as normative by itself, enabling the related actors to be ethical and responsible in their human actions and replacing for all the pre-existing moral beliefs (Fish, p. 1).” Interestingly, neoliberalists ...

Neo-liberalism has always been connoted as “privatization,” “deregulation,” “decentralization,” or “tax reform.” Fish (p. 1) defines neo-liberalism as “a derogatory term to a group of economic and political policies which is founded on the positive effects of a free market system. The most popular definition of neo-liberalism is by Paul Treanor who defined it under the book “Neoliberalism: Origins, Theory, Definition” as: “a philosophy valuing the market existence and operation as it is, distinct from any of its previous links with the production of goods and services . . . and where the market and similar structure’s mechanics are seen as normative by itself, ...

Abstract

On May 1, 2012, President Barack Obama made an address in Kabul, Afghanistan regarding the future of America's involvement in Afghanistan. Over the course of the speech, the President details the signing of an "historic agreement" between the two countries that establishes their relationship for the foreseeable future, one in which an "equal partnership" is created and the war in Afghanistan is slowly ended. Over the course of this speech, and in the plan itself, President Obama reveals a very neoliberalist attitude taken toward the United States and its relationship with Afghanistan; instead of conquering the country, or attempting to ...

Doug Guthrie, in his article “China and Globalization” Can present a good comparison analysis with David Harvey article Neoliberalism with Chinese characteristics in "A brief history of Neoiberalism". Dough Guthrie has presented Globalization in China as a free flow and optimized allocation of capital, technology, information and service in the global market. This can be compared or is similar to neoliberalism in David Guthrie’s article that features neoliberalism as an aspect that has an influence on an international level besides it being having its dominancy from a political and economical perspective. David Harvey approaches the aspect of neoliberalism as a dogma that ...

In corporate chain stores and huge corporations, workers get frustrated as a result of several unjust treatments. A good percentage of the employees are forced to be part-time workers since these companies want to pay for as little benefits as possible. Such companies are also temporarily understaffed making many of their employees to work overtime which, in most cases, is not paid. Failure of the employees to complete their tasks directly results into loss of that particular job. This compels the workers to go extra miles even if it means working overtime, with very poor benefits. In these big stores, ...

Analysis of Stephen Harpers Speech to the UN General Assembly

International relations refer to the relationships between different countries. It includes the study of the roles of the state, inter-governmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and multinationals. The theories seek to analyze and formulate foreign policies of different states. International relations theories were developed to aid in the formulation of foreign policies. The theories attempt to offer a conceptual framework for analyzing and formulating policies on international relations. The recent changes in the global politics have rendered various nation-based policies obsolete. Additionally, there is an increasing interaction of international politics. Thus, there is a need to develop a deeper understanding on the relevance and ...
