In this article the author asserts that understanding the rise of political Islam at the world＇s stage and IR generally can be genealogically traced to two interrelated developments： the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood （MB） in Egypt since 1928 as a social and political movement against the growing Western influence in the Islamic World after the collapse of the ottoman empire; and the development of the post-World War II IR theories, and practices which provided the basis of the political, military, and security doctrines of the United States and its allies which proved its lack of reliability and validity, particularly as related to the Muslim World, and the role of religion within the Muslim states and place of religion in global politics.展开更多

The Chi-square test results confirm American sociolinguist J. Fishman＇s Domain Theory. However, the author holds that the theory should be revised when applied to the study of codeswitching by Chinese English teachers at tertiary level, the original church domain is to be deleted, a novel public affairs domain is to be added to. Meanwhile the author further points out that the SC acquires linguistically functional reversibility whereas English and dialects are functionally irreversible. Finally the. author interprets that the nature of codeswitching turns out the reestablishment of social situation attempting to bring about intended social status and distance to the interlocutors.展开更多

The transition from anarchy to international society may have progressed further in Europe than elsewhere. Can we apply the lessons learned from the evolution of a security community in Europe to Africa？ The argument here is that that the antecedent structural conditions that shaped the evolution of the European system are absent in the Africa sub-system. Therefore, similar processes, such as transnational activity, will not necessarily lead to similar ends.展开更多
