International cooperation facing new security challenges: Theoretical explanation

Abstract

Not available

This study is about finding a possible explanation about cooperation that can help to tackle upcoming future challenges. Thesis probes empirical data and theoretical explanation in order to reach possible elucidation about cooperation and interstate relations. Research findings indicate that the new challenges are unique because they are “glocal” and happen sequentially threatening all dwellers on earth. White and blue papers alarm the urgency of cooperation to face climate-related future challenges. However, state actors do not follow cooperative actions that create dilemmas between legislation and function. These problems require an explanation from IR Theories perspective where they are endowed with loopholes concerning predictions about the future. Phase approach helps to eliminate this problem by explaining interactions within time context. Responsibility can rest on people and their interest in demanding cooperation will emerge from “tangible results”. Their voice needs communication and discussion channels that can be implemented using portals. The thesis is divided into three sections that comprise exploring, understanding, and implementing. It first examines different organizational and governmental reports and documents by collecting data to find out climate-related new challenges. Assessment of reports also provides information about the necessity of cooperation. In so doing, the second section engages in finding a possible explanation from theories of IR by assessing three major theories, namely, Realism, Liberalism, Constructivism, and one new – Green Theory. Probing of the theories provides us with an explanation which also leads to noticing possible gaps in their explanation. The last section covers a new approach that explains the flaws that are left by traditional theories, together with finding dichotomies and providing responsibility argument and recommendations.
