Realism and Instruments of Power

Information Management has to do with capturing information, efficient planning, organizing and evaluating the information to interpret for an organization to make well informed decisions. (Hinton, 2006) The main reason organizations depend on information is to improve its overall management in

National security, in the 21st century, has shifted from the focus on traditional threats (armed forces) (Siddiqi, 2013) to the integration of new threats and challenges, which have global consequences as the world evolves. Climate change has been increasingly identified as a serious contemporary security threat (McDonald, 2013), nationally and globally, instead of an environmental concern (Dupont & Pearman, 2008). This challenge presents a long-term global threat, with substantial human, national and transnational security repercussions (Wuebbles, Chitkara & Matheny, 2014). Furthermore, Wuebbles et al. (2014) acknowledge climate change as a threat multiplier, seen to exacerbate stresses (i.e. conflict, instability and poverty), enhancing the global importance of the issue as recognised as a critical national security risk. In perceiving climate change as a threat multiplier, this essay will recognise how the issues cumulative progression and consequences interacts with existing security issues, directly and indirectly challenging national security (Brown, Hammill & McLeman, 2007). Secondly, the long-term risk of climate change will be discussed, analysing the importance of implementing adaptation strategies for risk protection and vulnerability reduction. Finally, being a transnational security threat, global cooperation will be addressed, stressing the importance of internationalism and collaboration to protect against this evolving threat to national and

The classic rules of international law should not be interpreted somewhat more loosely, or even take a back seat, in the face of the global climate catastrophe which awaits us if we fail. It is noted that, in extreme situations, international law allows states to invoke the defense of necessity as a ground for precluding the wrongfulness of an act, when this is the only way for the state to safeguard an essential interest of the state or the international community. It is possible to legally justify a decision that by failing to adequately address climate change is a greater evil. As the extra-legal defense of necessity undermines the existing international legal framework, creating

- Information: is a knowledge which can be transferred or received concerning a particular fact or situation. And is a sequence of symbols that can be explained as a message. Information can be recorded as signs, or transmitted as signals.

Boom! Pow! The US is using force to get retaliation on countries that harm their own people. Military officials are fighting against countries that kill/harm their country goers. Some officials say we should act out on the violence. Others say that we should keep our noses out of other countries business. Using military force acts out on countries killings, just recently Syria bombed their own people. When we use this force it gives the government officials a piece of mind what we think about them killing their own people. This could save other and more innocent people from dying. Using this amount of force could save other people. Giving the government we just attacked, a new idea on what moves they should do next.

The states are the most important actors in realism. Realism is a broad intellectual tradition that explains international relations in terms of power. More specifically, when states work in an effort to increase their own power in relation to other states. With Realism there are claims made, such as the world is a harsh and dangerous place, and the only certainty in the world is power. If a state is powerful, that state will always outlast its weaker competitors. In addition to this, the most important and reliable form of power is military power. Another claim is a state’s primary interest should be self-preservation, and due to this, a state should seek power and protect itself. Realism has a very defined foundation, and that is dominance. The looking glass of realism sees the world through recognizing the winner and the loser.

Information Management is the collection and management of information from one or more sources and the distribution of that information to one or more audiences.

Information is data that has been processed so that it has meaning and value to a recipient,

Political will is hard to maintain on climate change in part because humans react to tangible and immediate threats to survival. The threats of climate change and terrorism to the international community are interesting to look at for which gets more attention and some general possibilities why. Climate change is the type of threat that may never be properly dealt with until it is too late since its effects are slow and mostly unnoticeable to the common person, hence the cliché frog in the pot

Information is an asset that, like other important personal assets, is essential to an in-dividual and should be protected. Information can exist in many forms. It can be printed or written on paper, stored electronically, transmitted by post or by using electronic means, shown, or spoken in conversation. In whatever form the information takes, or means by which it is shared or stored, it should always be appropriately secured.

Information is data which is accurate and timely specific and organized for a purpose presented within a context that gives it meaning and relevance. Information can lead to an increase in understanding and decrease in uncertainty.

Climate change is an issue that affects all life on Earth and is a major concern among researchers across a variety of fields. There is quite little argument against the possibility of mass disaster if human beings continue to consume fossil fuels in the same way we have been since the late 1700s (i.e. the Industrial Revolution). To mitigate the severity of climate change, many different courses of action have been suggested. Dale Jamieson discusses two of these in his article Ethics, Public Policy and Global Warming, and these strategies are what this paper will be focusing on.

The U.S. must intervene in South Sudan, as it is an enduring interest within our National Security Strategy to maintain “An international order advanced by U.S. leadership that promotes peace, security, and opportunity.” General Rodriguez, commander of AFRICOM, should employ both diplomatic and economic instruments of power. By doing so, the U.S. risks a potentially long-term engagement in East Africa.

Information management (IM) is the collection and management of information from one or more sources and the distribution of that information to one or more audiences; is also particularly critical to businesses that work in conjunction with other businesses, so the two must share information with, or transfer information to, each other. In addition, businesses with more than one department or unit can use the MIS to compile information in one central location, thereby preventing information loss.

‘As Information system (IS) can be defined technically as a set of interrelated components that collect (or retrieve), process, store and distribute information to support decision making, coordination, and control in an organization.’ (Laudon,
