This support in terms of economy and political assistance can also be seen as a means of creating a strong European force that would balance the Soviets on the continent. This idea is though common to the balance of power advocated by the 1815 Vienna Congress, following the wars with Napoleon. (Guzzini, 1998) After the Second World War, indeed the U.S. needed a strong force to both balance and contain the U.S.S.R. And this idea was expressed by Kennan in his Telegram and by George Marshall in his speech presenting the Plan for the reconstruction of Europe.
An element which is not common to realists is the reliance on institutions as a means for promoting stability. Kennan, in his proposal, suggested strengthening the emerging institutional framework available to the Europeans in order to contain the U.S.S.R. Despite the fact that it was not a traditional approach, he considered institutions to be a useful tool for achieving an underlining goal, that of eventually increasing the power of the states which remained in his view the single and most important actors in international affairs.
Globalization brought about a series of changes in the approaches presented by Kennan. On the one hand, there is no longer a clear distinction between different theoretical views such as realism, institutionalism, or constructivism. This is largely due to the changes that occurred in recent decades. Thus, the...
Human Trafficking Theoretical framework: Human trafficking It is estimated that the majority of individuals who are illegally trafficked are females. This includes not simply workers in the sex industry, but employees in many other areas of employment in which trafficking commonly occurs, including domestic service and recruitment for sweatshop labor. Although the extent to which human trafficking occurs is difficult to estimate, conservatively most studies indicate that up to 80% of all
wealth of information for a researcher, but only if the researcher has a clear idea of what he or she wants to study and how the past work of others can be used in order to provide ideas for the future based on the work done in the present. There should be a logical progression from what was done in the past, through what the researcher is doing currently,
Stiglitz (2009, p. 282) points out that the global economic crisis began first in the developed countries. The fact that developing countries were not sufficiently "rich" to engage in unviable economic practices somewhat cushioned the impact of the crisis on them. Nevertheless, it remains a fact that the crisis has spread to global proportions as a result of both developing and developed countries interacting on a global business scale. Technology
Hypertension Since this study focuses on determining the most suitable intervention based on the perceptions and opinions of newly diagnosed hypertension male patients aged 30 years and above, the theoretical framework that will guide the research is the Health Belief Model (HBM). This theoretical framework suggests that a patient's belief in the threat of a disease/illness as well as his/her belief regarding the effectiveness of the recommended intervention affects his/her
water infrastructure management in the Caribbean. One possible approach to understand this topic is that of systems theory, which would focuses on how changes in 'systems' delivery could be used to improve services but also to target how and why critical failures might occur in this arena. "A system is a collection of part unified to accomplish an overall goal. If one part of the system is removed, the
Outsourcing & Offshoring Ethics try to govern on the rightfulness of the dos and the don'ts in any activity. In business, some activities are practically inseparable regarding their rightfulness, acceptance, and goodness and badness to the receiving ends. An ethical dilemma arises in the case that businesses fail to be in one tune of a song, trying to venture into different pathways, both or all of which have the two perceptions
