Identify and discuss two key historical events that, in your view, have shaped international relations. Why do you consider these events significant? How do they inform your perspective on global politics today?
Describe the Treaty of Westphalia and its significance in modern international relations. How might global politics be different without it? Provide examples to support your argument.

Select three theories from the “expansion pack” and analyze their key assumptions and arguments (located in e-book called International Relations Theory by S. McGlinchey – author discusssed global justice theory ,green thoery ,indigenous perspective thoery ,queer theory,and many more). Compare how each theory addresses one pressing global issue, providing a specific example. Discuss how these theories relate to one another—do they extend, complicate, or contradict each other? Identify a common theme among the theories and describe any notable similarities or differences. Finally, argue whether these theories warrant greater attention in contemporary international relations studies and explain your reasoning. Why or why not?
