Which one is NOT one of the four bastions from which the arguments of the English School are derived?

The imperial and national tradition in which the diversity, rather than unity, was given prominence. |
The diplomatic tradition. |
Use of force must be the first choice. |
a positive definition of the English School can be made out of or within the British tradition. There may be identified four bastions from which the arguments of the English School are derived;
1. The empirical or historical tradition in epistemology, which could be traced back to Hume. Instead of rationalist explanations or abstract formulations
as seen in Continental Europe and the United States, the British tradition generally relied on empirical analysis and historical explanation.
2. The cautiousness and refrain from the extremes and the pursuit of a middle
way. Within the British tradition, one cannot find the salience of rigid and radical positions; instead, an effort to accommodate the extremes is highlighted.
3. The imperial and national tradition in which the diversity, rather than unity, was given prominence. Unlike the British tradition, the French, for example, emphasized the unity.
4. The diplomatic tradition. This tradition involved that the diplomacy must be given a chance until the last hour and resort to the use of force must be the ultimate choice.

Which of the following statements is true regarding the beliefs of economic nationalists?
Companies compete economically, but states do not. |
Free trade benefits all nations. |
Companies are elements of state power. |
Closing off an economy to external influences can only create an obstacle on the growth and economic progress. |
Infant industries should be protected by the state from foreign competition by putting an end to trade with other nations. |
The nationalists believe that closing off an economy to external influences can be beneficial to growth and economic progress. Also the nationalists see companies as elements of state power.Besides, the nationalists believe that closing off an economy to external influences can be beneficial to growth and economic progress. The nationalists also believe that free trade only benefits the wealthiest, most advanced nations. In head-to-head competition, the advanced industries can easily defeat the less advanced industries. Therefore, infant industries should be protected by the state from foreign competition, or else, they simply perish. This does not mean putting an end to trade with other nations. It means protecting industries that are identified as being infant but crucial to national power.

- MNCs create job opportunities for many and technologically advanced goods.
- By producing the same quality of goods at lower costs, multinationals reduce prices and increase the purchasing power of consumers worldwide.
- Through enhanced international trade and growing interdependence, national differences would vanish and increasing economic well-being would eventually lead to world peace.
- Multinationals have undue political influence over governments, exploit developing nations, and create job losses in their own home countries.
- MNCs have a detrimental effect on the environment because their operations may encourage land development and the depletion of local resources.
- The introduction of multinationals into a host country’s economy may lead to the downfall of smaller, local businesses as well, since MNCs have better products and they can afford to even offer them at lower prices, as they have the financial resources to buy in bulk.
Which of the arguments above can be expressed by the one who is opposed to MNCs?
I and II |
I, IV and V |
IV, V and VI |
III, IV, V and VI |
I, II, III, IV, V and VI |
MNCs have long been subject to serious discussions. Advocates of MNCs argue that they create job opportunities for many and technologically advanced goods. It is also said that MNCs tend to establish operations in markets where their capital is most efficient or wages are lowest. By producing the same quality of goods at lower costs, multinationals reduce prices and increase the purchasing power of consumers worldwide. Some liberal economists go further than extolling the economic benefits of MNCs, pointing a positive relationship between the international liberal economy and peace. It is argued that through enhanced international trade and growing interdependence, national differences would vanish and increasing economic well-being would eventually lead to world peace (Mingst and Arreguin-Toft, 2011). Those opposed to MNCs, on the other hand, say that multinationals have undue political influence over governments, exploit developing nations, and create job losses in their own home countries. In addition, they argue that MNCs tend to develop a monopoly for certain products, driving up prices for consumers. MNCs are also said to have a detrimental effect on the environment because their operations may encourage land development and the depletion of local resources. Moreover, the introduction of multinationals into a host country’s economy may lead to the downfall of smaller, local businesses as well, since MNCs have better products and they can afford to even offer them at lower prices, as they have the financial resources to buy in bulk. Some critics further claim that MNCs breach ethical standards, accusing them of evading ethical laws and leveraging their business agenda with capital (Evans, 1979; Dunning, 1981). As also understood from the information given, the correct answer is C. The arguments in the option IV “Multinationals have undue political influence over governments, exploit developing nations, and create job losses in their own home countries.”, in the option V “MNCs are also said to have a detrimental effect on the environment because their operations may encourage land development and the depletion of local resources.” and in the option VI “The introduction of multinationals into a host country’s economy may lead to the downfall of smaller, local businesses as well, since MNCs have better products and they can afford to even offer them at lower prices, as they have the financial resources to buy in bulk.” can be expressed by the one who is opposed to MNCs. The arguments in the option I “MNCs create job opportunities for many and technologically advanced goods.”, in the option II “By producing the same quality of goods at lower costs, multinationals reduce prices and increase the purchasing power of consumers worldwide.” And in the option III “Through enhanced international trade and growing interdependence, national differences would vanish and increasing economic well-being would eventually lead to world peace.” can be expressed by the advocate of MNCs, not the one who is opposed to MNCs.

How does the 'prisoner's dilemma' present a case for international regime theory?
As is the case in the prisoner's dilemma, the rational option for all sides regardless of national interest would be cooperation. |
The prisoner's dilemma indicates that the establishment of international regimes would depend on the willingness of one party to cooperate over the other. |
Regime theory indicates that the prisoner's dilemma is not applicable to international relations because nations may make unilateral decisions. |
The prisoner's dilemma may be interpreted as both a cause for, and a hindrance to the establishment of international regimes depending on the viewpoint. |
The prisoner's dilemma indicates that actors of international relations will act in their own best interests, thereby preventing cooperation and eliminating the possibility for the establishment of international regimes. |
The realist approach based on the prisoner's dilemma emphasizes that possible risks and uncertainties might cause refrain from cooperation while the cognitivist approach implies that regimes would encourage and institutionalize the mutuality of international relations, while the principle of reciprocity would prevent states from defecting from cooperation.

What is the connection betwen prisoner’s dilemma and IRT?
High crime rates, anarchists and international terrorism in states |
Laws concerning the punishment conditons of prisoners |
Uncertainty, mutual suspicion and issues about cooperation of states |
International conflicts arising from the use of nuclear weapons |
International laws regulating the exchange of prisoners between states |
It is well known that model of prisoner’s dilemma explains why the states escape from cooperation. Therefore, while the realist approach based on prisoner’s dilemma emphasizes that possible risks and uncertainties might cause to escape/refrain from cooperation, free rider approach also argues that the existence of some countries trying to employ the collective action without paying any cost might restrict the cooperation of states.
Realists who are adopting the assumptions of uncertainty and prisoner’s dilemma assume that these mutual suspicion and non-confidence of states would feed and sustain the process. Therefore, international regimes would eliminate these uncertainties and feed the confidence instead of non-confidence.
Moreover, conditioned cooperation (if game is reiterated, players would be encouraged to cooperate in order to escape from the probable cost) in the model of prisoner’s dilemma might be effective to encourage states to establish regimes. Meetings frequently done between states to boost the cooperation would be main imperative for realization of conditioned cooperation in prisoner’s dilemma.
The correct answer is C.
