On the whole, 2015 marked the triumphant return of the “Age of Politics” to international relations. Even in the former bipolar world, not to mention the 25 years that came after the end of the Cold War, international politics were dominated by economic concerns. Globalization is a product of the economy, not of politics. Last ...

It has become a truism to say that international relations (and politics in general) are a result of actions of many agents, many of whom are not perfectly rational. Although it is somewhat a fair description of interactions in domestic politics (at least when it comes to the multiplicity ...

“Dear professors, lecturers, deans and everyone else!
Thank you for this magnificent opportunity to express my deep gratitude!
First of all, thank you for helping me understand that international relations and political science are not really science. The amount of biases, stereotypes, scholasticism, combined with great politicization and ideologization, lack of expertise in vast areas and unproven belief in the ability to predict ...
Dear Reader!
I am terribly sorry for such a delay in my posts, which was caused by a progressive disorder (international?).
The entry that you will find here is devoted mainly to the issue of getting a graduate degree in international relations (or a similar field). This post is written by Dr. Fox, while he was still a graduate student, so, please, be sceptic. As much as you can.

An issue also exists with regard to the often violent nature of secession, epitomised by the United Nations’ principle of ‘non-use of force’, whereby:
All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.[viii]

Dear Reader!
Sometimes a diseased mind cannot distinguish one from another, and here you will not find a conversation in its common sense, but something extremely odd. Both Dr. Fox and Sir Popper are here, enchained into one text.
The topic is war & peace, but main point is that everything is biased, and the way a person comprehends something (including such a positive idea of peace) depends mainly on one’s point of view, despite the message. Even if this person is good at reading between...
Dear Reader!
I would like to present to you a continuation of the previous post (in fact, an e-mail correspondence between the two minds) concerning the idea of 'polarity' and the use of other scientific terms in social science.

Dear friend,
Thank you again for your vast commentary. Although I can’t understand all your enmity towards political science, I appreciate your opinion....
Dear Reader!
I have no intention to disappoint you or annoy you in case you were honestly looking for something about bipolarity in international relations, so this post will be dedicated, in some measure, to the well-known concept of ‘bipolarity’- and problems that lie beneath.
Here you will find a blog post (within a blog post), written by Fox (not a doctor yet) and ...
