Characteristics of civil wars:
What is the difference between interstate wars and intrastate wars?
Interstate wars are between sovereign states, intrastate wars take place within states
Realist approaches to managing insecurity:
-they rely on balancing power
a limit of it is its inability to manage security during periods of rapid change.
-they also rely on deterrence to threaten force. for this to work states must build up arsenals to present a credible threat. Deterrence cant work against terrorists that have nothing to loose.

For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
When is a war a just war?
Just war tradition states war is just when:
-there is a just cause ((self) defence)
-declaration of intent by a competent authority (security council)
-leaders need correct intentions (establish peace)
-leaders also need to have tried all other options
The different theorists and how they see war as transcending/inevitable..
-realists think war is a necessary condition of interstate politics, it can be managed but not removed. Prisoners dilemma attaches to realism, and the security dilemma. Humans go against transcending war.
-liberalists think transcending war is possible but will take a while. See institutions as enablers of economic+other forms of interaction between states. Use democratic peace to support argument, democratic dont go to war!
-Radical also believe in transcending war, war ended when state ended, self interest not natural
-Constructivists think war is not necessary or inevitable
How important is the international system in starting wars?
According to realists and radicalists they are the ones to blame (realists think war breaks out because nothing is stopping it)
however, this may be simplistic. War often breaks out because of interaction between various factors at different levels of analysis
How involved are individuals in starting war?
How important are states in startin wars?
Liberal approaches to managing insecurity:
-they call on international community or international institutions to coordinate actions.
-rely on collective security, based on proposition that agressive and unlawful use of force by any state against another must be stopped by united action. doesnt always work of course.
-rely on arms control and disarmament, many treaties involving it, less arms more security. but doesnt delete security dilemma- not only arms make other countries insecure.
What is the difference between total and limited war?
Total wars are armed conflicts involving massive loss of life and widespread destruction with many participants including major powers. Fought for reasons like religion/ideas/to conquer
Limited wars are when not all arms are unleashed, no nuclear weapons. An example is arab-isreali disputes.
