Reflexiones internacionalistas

I've been asked many times about the situation of women in both my country and my region. Since I do believe that women's status in every part of the world is a matter relevant to both the international community and to many countries, I would like to spend some sentences inside this entry in order to express a bit of my views regarding this issue. The main categories that could serve to be relevant for analysing a bit about women's status in other parts of the world to me are culture, background and obviously history, of course this is just a bit of many other relevant elements that determine women's situation worldwide.  In the first place, it is important to remind ourselves that human rights are universal and therefore belong to every single person standing on the world, whereas we are talking about a man or a woman, without mattering their origin, ethnicity, religion and so on.

I decided to write abouty this topic because to start with, I really like themes related to Defence and also to War Studies and also because I had to get involved with concepts related to strategy and war during my research of North Korea. Human nature is very complex and,. if there is something that defines our nature is that we have always been warlike beings since the very beginning of times and, this was proved during the Middle Ages until the Peace of Westphalia and later with the First and Second World Wars. Since I am Realist in what respects to my let's say, 'theoretical posture' inside my critiques and also my research of international relations, I do think that today States still pursue their self-interest (I believe the issue of intervention in Syria is of the best examples I can think of in order to reaffirm that today's international arena is full of interactions indeed based on Realism or Neorealism), therefore the existence of military alliances along hi...
