War is generally considered a to be a heinous act, a harbinger of death, destruction and disaster. War is often fought for ignorant reasons such as wealth and property, although defence and fighting for the greater good is often exhibited through history. Its facile to claim that war is unjustifiable under personal or political reasons, or that it’s a waste of human life and that passive resistance is the key. Nevertheless, in opposition, there are particular circumstances in which war is justifiable

IOs are only forums in which states pursue their interests. I believe that this is wrong to begin with, as IOs are more than forums to realise states’ self-interest. They are also largely important for other means, essentially, in maintaining world peace and order. This paper will mainly explore on two most controversial IOs that are the UN and the EU using Rationalist approach. To support the argument, this research will use two relatable in-depth cases that are the 2011 Military Intervention in Libya

Brittany Griffin POLS 6850 Book Review 14 November 2014 Reviewing Waltz’s Man, the State, and War Throughout the years, scholars have attempted to solve the complex puzzle of why states make and refrain from making war (Sjoberg, 2012, p. 1). Kenneth Waltz uniquely approaches the puzzle through three levels of analysis, or as Waltz calls them, images: “within man, within the structure of separate states, within the state system” (Waltz, 1959, p. 12). To describe how each image approaches the

Hannah Somogie Social Justice B block December 20, 2014 Before waging a war, it is always a good idea to think of what the possible outcome could be in the situation; to look ahead before making an unalterable, life-changing move. In many cases, different people, not just religious, think of the Just War Theory as a plausible cause to take a look at before sending troops to fight a war that deem not necessary to be fought. In the fall of 2001, September 11, it was a day in infamy, a day that will

Democracy is considered as a peaceful entity and the world without war. American President Woodrow Wilson, for example, believes that “democracy is inherently peace desiring and consequently contributes to the world peace, replacing war-like political regime (Gat, 2006)”. Democracy is a system of government, consisted of four key elements. Firstly, it is a means of choosing the leaders of the citizens and replacing the government through an election. It is also called a representative democracy as

contrast the peace of disconnection and obligations in life. Color symbolism of the white hospital room and the red tulips juxtapose the peacefulness of the speaker’s temporary freedom from responsibility and the harsh reality of life. For instance, the hospital room which the speaker resides in is white. The speaker draws attention to this, stating “Look how white everything is” as “the light lies on these white walls” (Plath 2, 4). White is traditionally symbolic of purity and peace. The hospital

‘Peace’ as a concept is seen through the lens of the fundamental problems faced by the world today: war, armed conflict and political violence. By insinuation, peace itself is understood predominantly as a negative concept, or as the absence of these phenomena (Atack, 2009). Martin Luther King said that ‘True peace is not merely the absence of some negative force - tension, confusion or war; it is the presence of some positive force - justice, good will and brotherhood’ (King, 1957). Indeed, peace

War, in all its forms, is tragic. International law was created to establish some basis of rules to abide by—including war—and states have signed on to such a contract. The actions of states in this ever globalizing world are difficult to be controlled. The source of international law operates through the hands of the United Nations. The enforcement of the law occurs through reciprocity, collective action, and a display of international norms (Goldstein, p. 254). War in fact has been given a justification

Canadian culture p2 country, the identity became separate from the UK. Although there were still British colonies, people were free to start developing their own identity. The Canadian government policy has predominantly been one of peace-keeping. In the 1960s the United States started to become more violent, and Canada remained peaceful, people looked to Canada as a place to get away from violence (“Canada in the 19th”, 2009). Canada is known worldwide for being peaceful, and
