The events, the developments and the international changes are based on the tracks that always deviate as the result of wills struggle between the forces and states. In the sense that the political crises that countries face means a set of interactio
ns among the forces that have conflict which may reach to a confrontation. So we must be aware of the political and economic changes, according to the scientific methods to understand what threatens the interests of the states. Many of the sequential crises throughout history are resulted from the use of the power which is based on the object of the available resources. Therefore, the power is the practical exercise and the political investment abroad and that happens through diplomacy or war so that the state can determine its objectives, and decide what to choose among those of power tools.
The forces and the states have seek to own the overall power in order to be the motivator of the political units within the framework of the international community. There are countries which benefit from the wars set in their agendas in advance to achieve the aims of their policy. War is still an essential tool for states, governments and groups to achieve their interests through direct conflict, or through the threat of sanctions, or through aids, including the so-called soft power, and sometimes through the form of international legitimacy, including the emergence of the term "fighting terrorism" and what accompanied it of global changes led to politically, militarily, economically and technologically submission to the powerful nations.
The last few decades witnessed the rise of new approaches or frameworks in the
study of International relations. These new approaches are called post positivism.
Most of these approaches share a common view regarding the positivist theories
which
dominated international relations and political science for more than sixty
years. The new directions criticize the methodology and the epistemological and
ontological assumptions of positivism. In this paper we try to evaluate the
contribution of the positivist theories in international relations and the arguments of
the new approaches, mainly Critical theory, post-modernism and social
constructivism.
The last few decades have witnessed a substantial development in the study of
International Relations. Many new theories and approaches have become part of the
current debate within international relations. One of these new approaches is
Construct
ivism which many scholars believe constitutes a bridge between the
positivist theories and the post-positivist theories. This study seeks to examine the
basic assumptions of Constructivism and its contribution to the study of
international relations
