one of the significant issues in ir is that of inter – state conflict and cooperation. various schools such as realism and liberalism have endeavored to theoretically explain it. in so doing, this article seeks to outline the views offered by a constructivist thinker, alexander wendt. he treats ir as a socially constructed discipline. this article argues that although wendt has managed to advan...

Abstract Quantum mechanics supersedes classical mechanics, and social science, some argue, should be responsive to this change. This paper finds that two rather different arguments are currently being used argue quantum is epistemically relevant in science. One, attributed Alexander Wendt, appeals the presence of physical effects world. The other, Karen Barad, insists on importance metaphysics ...

Abstract The paper focuses on two problems with Alexander Wendt's unification of physical and social ontology the basis quantum theory. Firstly, by endowing phenomena an ontological foundation in reality defined terms Wendt risks reducing a plurality worlds as ‘fields sense’, ordered their immanent rules, to world laws Secondly, defining his science excluding from consideration all that which v...

The purpose of this paper is consider some results concerning the special class of the flat manifolds (closed, Riemannian with zero sectional curvature) of dimension n with holonomy groups (Z 2) . In dimension two it is the Klein bottle and in dimension three it is a flat manifold first consider by Hantzsche and Wendt in [4]. Hence we shall call this class of the HantzscheWendt flat manifolds (...

We study the family of closed Riemannian n-manifolds with holonomy group isomorphic to Z n−1 2 , which we call generalized Hantzsche-Wendt manifolds. We prove results on their structure, compute some invariants, and find relations between them, illustrated in a graph connecting the family.
