There are eleven RSCs in the world with three main categories. The main criterion in establishing those categories is the number of great powers located in each RSC. Three of those categories are called centered (North America, the CIS, and the EU-Europe), one is a great power complex (East Asia), and the remaining seven are standard (South America, South Asia, the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, West Africa, Central Africa, and Southern Africa). There is only one great power in the centered RSC, more than one power in the great power RSC, and no great power in the standard RSC.

Frantz Fanon is the pioneer of post-colonial theory in terms of both problematisation and terminology. The post-colonialist theory was based on Fanon’s works that first analyzed and revealed colonialism as a fundamental problem of knowledge. Frantz Fanon concluded his indictment of colonialism by pronouncing that Europe ‘is literally the creation of the Third World’ in the sense, its material wealth and labour come from the colonies, ‘the sweat and the dead bodies of Negroes, Arabs, Indians and the yellow races’ that have fueled the ‘opulence’ of Europe (Fanon, 1963: 76–81). Fanon’s main claim is that it is the white man who created the black man and the black man himself who created the qualities of the black man. In his approach and developed analysis; Marxism, psychoanalysis, phenomenology and existentialism are affecting factors. Fanon refuses to represent the whole of humanity as created by the French enlightenment in the 18th century, also applies psychoanalysis on black people who were crushed, exploited and humiliated. The world which existed in the pre-modern period appear to be in a regular order in which people could maintain their lives has been systematically transformed into gradual irregularities by the Western promises of illumination and development and this disorder has been used for their exploitation. According to Fanon, it is necessary to play with the order of the new world created by the colonial man and to render his rules unworkable

Bhabha has become one of the leading voices in post-colonialism since the early 1980s. His work is very difficult to understand at first reading because of his complex writing style. It can be argued that Bhabha is “something of a master of political mystification and theoretical obfuscation” (McLeod, 2000: 51). Bhabha suggests that colonial authority is necessarily rendered ‘hybrid’ and ‘ambivalent’ when it is imitated or reproduced, thus opening up spaces for the colonized to subvert the masterdiscourse. (Loomba, 1998). In his book “The Location of Culture” (1994), Bhabha writes, ‘The objective of colonial discourse is to construe the colonized as a population of degenerate types on the basis of racial origin, in order to justify conquest and to establish systems of administration and instruction’

Orientalism. |
Imperialism. |
Colonialism. |
Discourse. |
Decolonization is a technical concept containing economic, social and political arguments in modern history. Also, it is one of the most dramatic process structuring the principles of the world world order. The term “decolonization” emerged by using anti-colonial ideology and by hampering colonial power. The process of colonization begins with the physical occupation of land and domination on the indigenous people. There are two fields that were colonized: “Physical and Mental”. The former is about economic, political and technical oppression the indigenous people suffered the latter is relevant social norms that contain culture, religion, conscious, tradition, history etc. in their mind. While indigenous people decolonized their society and land from colonial power, they were interested in physical survival, but this condition could not change colonial mentality, and they survived their own lands but not their own mind. Therefore, the correct option is A.

Which concept refers to a study of the historical conditions a priori that enable the emergence of a thought or a practice of a theory in a certain time period?
Archaelogoy |
Genealogy |
Juridico-discursive |
Double Reading |
Deconstruction |
By the concept of archaeology Foucault refers to a study of the historical conditions a priori that enable the emergence of a thought or a practice of a theory in a certain time period. In other words, Foucault designed archaeology as a method of analysis that aims to unearth intellectual structures and historical a priori underlying different methods, concepts and theories of an idea and thought that dominates a particular period. As can be understood from the definition given, the correct answer is A. The information related to other concepts given in the other answer choices are as follows:
Foucault conceptualized the traditional power as ‘juridico-discursive” where power comes from above, from a sovereign.
The double reading method was included to literature as a deconstruction style by Derrida. The aim here is to understand the story of the construction of the identity of a discourse, a text or any other social institution. The first reading tells in accordance with original by using its own assumptions of the dominant discourse. In other words, it tries to show how dominated reinterpretation provides self-integrity or continuity of the discourse or institution. The main point here is the second reading. It tries to expose the inner contradictions and how they are unsuccesfully closed and displaced by exerting pressure on the discourse or weaknesses of the institution.
Deconstruction is the best-known and noteworthy form of poststructural criticism. The concept was first outlined by Jacques Derrida in Of Grammatology published in 1976. Derrida explained the interaction between language and the construction of meaning in this book. As defined by Derrida, deconstruction is a “strategy some rules for reading, interpretation and writing”. He claims that rather than “destruction”, deconstruction signifies how the whole is structured and also restructured. It does not have a negative meaning.
