Congratulations to Naima Walter.

Personally, I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow under your supervision. Your supervision has been instrumental in my professional development.

[Minhas Majeed Khan Marwat @MinmajMarwat]

In the Department of International Relations, I'm delighted to share that my student, Naima Walter Lazarus , has successfully defended her Ph.D. dissertation titled "The US International Religious Freedom Act-1998: Ramification and Policy Options for Pakistan (2001-2015)" under my supervision. You can now officially call her Dr. Naima Walter. 💐👍

Part of our research regarding 'evaluation of recognition of the Taliban government' highlighted the same point in 2024.
Credit to @MinmajMarwat for smart supervision.

The unwillingness to engage with the Taliban has only added to the pressures faced by organizations trying to address the malnutrition, poverty, and displacement affecting tens of millions of Afghans, writes @alibomaye.

Economically, pressuring Iran hurts the credibility of US than the Iran.
A wave of domestic protests in January showed that Iran is internally combustible, but the war proved that the Islamic Republic is resilient and will not capitulate.

1. End of History (Fukuyama): Liberal democracy has triumphed as the final form of human government, and ideological evolution has essentially concluded.

2. Clash of Civilizations (Huntington): Future global conflicts will be driven primarily by cultural and religious differences between major civilizations, not ideology or economics.

3. Great Power Politics (Mearsheimer): Great powers are locked in permanent competition for dominance because the anarchic international system compels states to maximize their relative power for survival.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

So— can we say Mearsheimer is correct?

Yes, largely.

US-China rivalry, the Ukraine war, and global military buildups all fit his core idea, that great powers inevitably compete for dominance regardless of ideology or economics.

Fukuyama looks naive right now, with authoritarianism resurging globally.

Huntington has some merit, but alliances still cross civilizational lines when power interests demand it.

Mearsheimer famously predicted the Ukraine war years in advance using pure structural logic- hard to argue with that track record.

Attention to the IR students 👇

Professor John J. Mearsheimer summarizes three of the most famous theories in International Relations in just five minutes — and explains who ultimately wins:

-End of History — Fukuyama
-Clash of Civilizations — Huntington
-Great Power Politics — Mearsheimer

ایک عورت ہونے کی وجہ سے میں یہ نہیں کہہ سکتی کہ سارے مرد ایک جیسے ہوتے ہیں
جہاں میں نے گھورنےوالے مرد دیکھے وہاں نِیچی نظر والے بھی دیکھے
جہاں لڑکی دیکھ کر سامنے آنےوالے مرد دیکھے، وہاں میں نےنظر سے ہٹ کر گزرجانےوالےبھی دیکھے
تو میں کیسےبول سکتی ہوں کہ سارے مرد ایک جیسےہوتے ہیں؟

Greed! When greed dominates decision-making, cooperation becomes secondary and exploitation becomes acceptable.

Keeping in view the current situation in Middle East, Think before you post.

@S_Rehman1o Observe him in comparative analysis.

[Abdur Rahim @Ayarahee]

Human mind shouldn't be fixed to one reality. It must be socially productive.
It indicates awareness, if changed by learning a new reality.
We apply this idea in critical thinking or critical theory of IR.

I wish people could understand this and leave their rigidness

Why US is strong?
As per Henry Kissinger, US strength in hard power is due to its fox diplomacy.
"It punishes the traitors of its own state while invests in the traitors of other states."
