2) rejection of behaviourism or scientism,
3) reliance on sociological methods (institutional analysis),

Which of the followings is among the critiques of theory of international regimes?
Regime theories are related to common interests. |
States do make the decision as a dominant actor in international relations. |
All states would need a regime in international relations. |
Regime theory can only be applied to liberal states. |
Non-state actors might be influential in political process. |
Theory of International regimes has been criticized in different aspects, some of these critiques are acceptance of the states as basic actors and ignorance of the non-state actors. While the advocators of regime theories reply that even these actors might be influential in political process, in final stage the states do make the decision as a dominant actor in IR, which are determined through power relations. Some critics of the theory claim that regime theory can only be applied to liberal states. But the defenders of this theory respond that all states, more or less at least for some issues, would need a regime in IR. As noted earlier, increasing economic welfare and security concerns would enforce the states to sacrifice some of their powers emanating from sovereignty. Therefore, the correct option is D.

Which of the following arguments about multinational corporations (MNCs) may be made by a liberal economist?
MNCs exploit developing nations. |
MNCs have too much political influence over governments. |
MNCs establish market monopolies by undercutting smaller businesses. |
MNCs enhance international trade, linking interdependence and thereby peace. |
MNCs may be detrimental to the environment due to the depletion of local resources. |

18.Soru
In which situation would states NOT need to establish/agree with a regime to coordinate their cooperation?
If there is a need to reduce the effects of anarchy hindering cooperation among states |
If there are issues that go beyond the physical and political limits of individual states |
If they are too weak and small to resolve the problem through power relations |
If they want to reduce the probability of international conflict to maintain their own security |
If they have opportunity to behave unilaterally without jeopardizing the interests of others |
It can be stated that in certain conditions, states would not need to form a regime to coordinate their cooperation or eliminate the conflicts:
- Firstly, states wouldn’t need to form a regime, if they have opportunity to behave unilaterally without jeopardizing the interests of others.
- Secondly, if states having common interest could behave in the same manner, they don’t need an international regime.
- Finally, if the best strategy of one state is the better of the worst strategy of the others, then states would not need to establish a regime to act in the same way.
The correct answer is E.
19.Soru
Which of the following theories is advocating hermeneutic/interpretation instead of reality/empirical verification?
Empricism |
Post-modernism |
Rationalism |
Pragmatism |
Positivism |
Post-modernism rejects the traditional approaches which are concerned with the general principles and universal rules that science and society would be managed by. The reflection to science is discerned as positivism which is relevant to objective knowledge and scientific methodology depending on observable and empirical research methods. Postmodernists are clearly opposing to a general methodology to be applied in all fields of sciences. Therefore, universal rules and principles shouldn’t be applied to science. In this context, incomparability and uncountability are main theoretical problems for science. Accordingly, different justice and truth positions cannot be compared with each other. In conclusion it is difficult to believe that only one truth or one reason and one universal social life position would be valid for all, and for progress of history. The answer is B.
