The question of whether the discipline of International Relations (IR) was in the past‚ and is still now‚ a predominantly American social science‚ is one that has taken up a great deal of discourse in the field of IR. Indeed this question has been the driving force for the IR theory course for which this paper was written; as evidenced by the title and content of the course textbook at the very least (International Relations -- Still an American Social Science?‚ Crawford‚ 2001). But how appropriate

broadly defined as – “ A branch of social sciences dealing with policies‚ developments and interactions‚ the effects of which cross national boundaries and affect the lives of people in different countries and in several parts of the world. ” Though IR as an academic discipline is of recent origin‚ relations among nations is a phenomena that is as old as history itself. Scholars often trace the origin of International Relations back to 1648. This is due to the fact that although actual relations between

Hence the output pin is normally low because‚ though the IR LED is continuously transmitting‚ due to no obstacle‚ nothing is reflected back to the IR receiver. The indication LED is off. When an obstacle is encountered‚ the output of IR receiver goes low‚ IR signal is reflected from the obstacle surface. This drives the output of the comparator low. This output is connected to the cathode of theLED‚ which

Feminism in IR Synopsis Introduction An evaluation of the contribution of feminist International Relations (IR) theory to the discipline as a whole is fraught with complexities; not only is feminist discourse a multifaceted branch of competing theories employing separate epistemologies‚ it is also a somewhat marginalised field within the study of IR. In their different ways‚ feminist theorists aim to expose gender biases embedded in conventional IR theories‚ such as realism and liberal institutionalism

However‚ one number could be off and one payment missed by ones’ employer. Then there it is‚ a letter from the IRS telling the taxpayer in big bold letters "AUDIT". What does one do? Where would one go for advice? Does the taxpayer have rights? And the first thing that goes through ones mind‚"money and jail". Well there is help‚ because in the past the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had an advantage over taxpayers when it came to auditing taxes. That is until Congress created a bill to assist

Objective: Carried out the microscale synthesis of isopentyl acetate by direct esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol. This was an acid catalyzed Fischer esterification. Both extraction and distillation were employed to obtain a pure product. IR spectroscopy and gas chromatography were used to determine purity of the final product.
