KEY CONCEPTS IN IR
SOVEREIGNTY
Originated with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 when government ceased to support co-religionists in conflict with their own states. :
-
Type of soverignty
Positive
refers to the ability of the state to exercise effective control in the arena of its formal jurisdiction.
Negative
refers to the legal right to demand that other states refrain from interfering in a state's internal affairs .
COLD WAR
-
The word "cold" refers to the presence of factors that allegedly restrained the confrontation and prevented a "hot" war. The word "war" implies tension, armed conflict , and zero-sum relationship between the superpowers. A common distinction is between orthodox and revisionist/ rhistorians
According to the orthodox arguments, the cold war was a struggle between two sets of ideas :check: one in the west, the concepts of a market economy and multiparty democracy were cherished. The policies of containment followed by the United States were defensive reactions to an inherently aggressive and expansionist enemy
According to revisionists, the Cold War was an era of American supremacy during which legitimacy was predicated on a fictional Soviet "threat".
According to revisionist, the Soviet Union's fundamental economic vulnerabilities were significant in explaining its fall in 1991, but the cold war might have ended far sooner and without the cost of the weapons race. The post-Cold War era is extremely dangerous, because the United States no longer faces any military or political challenges to its ideas on what constitutes a good international order.
By freezing Europe, both East and West, the Cold War gave a de facto solution to the German dilemma. it answered the dilemma of what to do about Germany and Japan for the US. Maintaining a rigid nuclear hierarchy between superpowers and their allies was aided by the continuation of the cold war.
There are a number of schools of thought, some of which overstate the degree of coherence and foresight in foreign-policy formulation and implementation. Between the superpowers, the cold war was a period of actual strife and collaboration. It evolved from a prolonged era of geopolitical turbulence in Europe, which saw the continent subjected to two extra-European superpowers with minimal diplomatic experience with each other as a result of internal disputes.
The Cold War was a post- World War II political competition between the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as their respective allies. George Orwell used the term "superpower rivalry" to describe the rivalry between the two superpowers in a 1945 article.
It was called a "Cold War" because a "hot" war never took place between the two countries (The United States and The Soviet Union) i.e their soldiers never actually fought against each other
In so far as the cold war was a conflict, the former Soviet Union and communism were unquestionably losers. The issues of world order outnumber any state's ability to properly react to them. It's crucial to avoid exaggerating the benefits of victory for the US and its allies.
