Download or read book Simulated Worlds written by Stuart A. Bremer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book evaluates the Simulated International Processer (SIPER) model of the international political system, which was derived from the Inter-Nation Simulation model created at Northwestern University. Stuart Bremer makes a significant advance by programming all aspects of the basic theory so that it more completely and accurately reflects the complexity of international relations in the real world. After describing the SIPER model, the author sets forth the values of the variables and parameters used for the twenty-four runs, including those that remained the same throughout and those that were varied. He then undertakes to validate the model by determining the extent to which the simulated nations behave like real world nations and simulated international systems like real international systems. In conclusion, he assesses the model's strengths and weaknesses and points to possible future improvements. Originally published in 1977.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?A great idea and a great teaching tool! This comprehensive account is beautifully executed, allowing us to ?see? a single case from a range of theoretical perspectives. It is an important demonstration that theoretical diversity illuminates rather than confuses.??Yale H. Ferguson, Rutgers University?This exciting collection skillfully demonstrates the value of constructing alternative explanations for key episodes in contemporary world politics.... Well conceived and well executed.??Fred H. Lawson, Mills College ?In this original work, the whole is clearly greater than the sum of its parts. Making Sense of IR Theory promotes a fresh pedagogical approach to IR?s entrenched theoretical pluralism. It makes eminent sense to put it on your shelf and on your reading list.??Yosef Lapid, New Mexico State UniversityWhat does it mean to adopt a realist, or a world systems, or a feminist approach to international relations? Does the plethora of ?isms??liberalism and constructivism and postmodernism, to name just a few?have any relevance to the real world of global politics and policymaking? Making Sense of International Relations Theory addresses these questions by illustrating theories in action.With the case of Kosovo as a common point of reference, each contributor presents a particular framework for interpreting world affairs. This structure offers students tangible examples of the use of varying theories, while illuminating the explanatory differences among them. Incorporating extensive introductory sections, the book is uniquely designed to explore alternative ways of understanding current events?to assist students in making sense of, as well as with, IR theory.

Download or read book World Politics Simulations in a Global Information Age written by Hemda Ben-Yehuda and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide explaining how to create simulations of international relations for the purposes of both teaching and research. Hemda Ben-Yehuda, Luba Levin-Banchik, and Chanan Naveh offer as a model their hallmark “World Politics Simulations Project,” which involves participants representing various states, nonstate actors, and media organizations embroiled in an international political crisis. Following the trajectory of a simulation, the authors describe theory, implementation, and analysis. Starting with a typology of simulations, they present a framework for selecting the most suitable one for a given teaching situation, based on academic setting, goals, costs, and other practical considerations. They then provide step-by-step instructions for creating simulations on cyber platforms, particularly Facebook, complete with schedules, guidelines, sample forms, teaching tips, and student exercises. Throughout the simulation, and especially during the final analysis, they explain how to reinforce learning and foster critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, and other essential skills. The authors conclude with suggestions for using data gathered during a simulation for scholarly research. Instructors in both introductory and advanced courses in political science, international relations, media, history, and area studies—as well as leaders of professional training programs in the civil and military service and media organizations—will find this guide invaluable.
Download or read book Politics and Uncertainty written by Claudio Cioffi-Revilla and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-07-16 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncertainty is an ever-present and ineradicable aspect of politics. It affects all important issues of governance and policy, in both domestic and international contexts. Rather than treating the uncertainty of politics as a mystery, this book provides an original and direct treatment of political uncertainty as a scientifically-knowable phenomenon with well-defined principles and substantive properties. Specific applications of this theory of political uncertainty are demonstrated in diverse areas of politics, examining such questions as when and how wars break out, when and how governments collapse, and when and how political cooperation emerges. The author shows how probability and mathematical modeling can play a central role in understanding such complex and fundamental issues.

Download or read book After the Enlightenment written by Nicolas Guilhot and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Enlightenment is the first attempt at understanding modern political realism as a historical phenomenon. Realism is not an eternal wisdom inherited from Thucydides, Machiavelli or Hobbes, but a twentieth-century phenomenon rooted in the interwar years, the collapse of the Weimar Republic, and the transfer of ideas between Continental Europe and the United States. The book provides the first intellectual history of the rise of realism in America, as it informed policy and academic circles after 1945. It breaks through the narrow confines of the discipline of international relations and resituates realism within the crisis of American liberalism. Realism provided a new framework for foreign policy thinking and transformed the nature of American democracy. This book sheds light on the emergence of 'rational choice' as a new paradigm for political decision-making and speaks to the current revival in realism in international affairs.
