International relations is casting a spotlight on the thorny topics and problems dealing with human life and his future in the fields of security, politics, economy, knowledge, culture. And reflect the reality of global variables associated with a range of strategic themes in political science.  The world is live now a transitional phase in all contemporary global issues such as

 - Global Governance and Issues the Environment and Climate Change.

-Effects of Technological Progress.

-Limits of military power.

-Poverty and Human Rights and Sustainable Development.

-Energy and Natural Resources.

-Demography and Immigration.

-Cultural Evolution and Terrorism.

- Influence of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
     

These issues make us wonder about dialectic theoretical reality that try to explain international relations? Also all the changes at the global level raises controversial and doubts about "realism theory" in political science? Thus: Is there an intellectual vacuum at theoretical level in international relations?
 
Accordingly the new challenges in the era of globalization lies in the following questions: 
 
1-      Do the state is still only able to determine international relations?

2-      Can analyze this emerging reality through building on standard force only?

3-      Or must also focus and the inclusion of cultural aspects in the analysis?
 

From the perspective of the reality of the theoretical question that explains the issues of the world can not be limited to the debate about the features of this new format but also that the real challenge lies in the following questions :

                                 
-          How and what are the ways to cope with this new patterns?

-          Can the theory of realism in international relations answer to all of these problems?

 For example:

-  How can we put an end to the violation of nature resources which may permanently eliminates the possibilities of sustainable development without a cultural contract?

- What are the ways that we have to face the moral requirements which include a general framework of human security? 

The new global challenges made from a holistic concept of security and multi-dimensional and closer to human life. Thus security is no longer measured by the reduction of threats but the extent to respond to the basic needs of the human being "Human Security". 

So if all of these global transformations require extra effort on the theoretical level: Do we need a new intellectual pattern in the context of the philosophical approach that explains international relations? 

In 21st Century: reconsidered in the constants in all matters relating to society and history and human values. and there are many theories that attempt to fill the ideological vacuum of the contemporary world including:
1-Theory of the End of History.
2-Theory of the Clash of Civilizations.
3- Postmodern Theory. 

But it may be the most dangerous of these theories which is called the: Theory Post-Humanity. Where in the near future we will be our humanity in confront a lot of moral choices crucial in the field of genetic engineering.
We have entered the stage of revolutionary development in the field of biology. Especially the "biotechnology” which will result in a drastic change in human life basically allows to change human nature. To get into historical period have radical impacts in: society and ethics, economy, politics and culture.   

In the future we are in front of world:  " Post-Humanity “. It will be characterized by the existence of many of the social conflicts. Where there is no place for concept the "common humanity". So we will not know what the meaning of humanity?  Therein lies the essence of the dialectical relationship between: human and technology? 

Based on this: If the ambitious humanitarian is the emergence of coordinated values that govern the behavior of society and institutions: 

 1-Will it be a matter of values and ethic transformations in the forefront the current and future intellectual questions? 

2-Are will we need to international relations that depend on cultural factors as an influential force in the approach to global issues both in terms of interpretation or find solutions ?

Vital Area for Arab Women's Rights



Salam al Rabadi \ Researcher and Author in International Relations.


If there is the desire of serious and sincere in Arab societies for the recognition of women's rights as one of the fundamental rights of the human being. this means that we must re-examine everything has to do with institutions: family, religion and culture based on the developments of intellectual and contemporary human. Which prompts us to try to think ethically in those rights. That need to be completely different vision From the past.

Where we can not recognize the many of these rights without some of the challenges that we face whether in relation to the concept of rights itself or in relation to some of the fundamental institutions such as family and religion.

Since many of those violations it remains its vital lies in family life. This therefore requires a firm subjecting each of the family and cultural thought (containing the religious dimension) to the process of self-criticism bold. Based on this we can approach this reality as such dialectical:

1- Is the logic and morality to justify violations of the rights of Arab women through recourse to cultural norms or religious?

2- How long women will be taken as evidence of the safety of cultural integration and moral?

3- What is the vital area of Arab women can overcome the system of tyranny and swirl control and help her to fly in the space of universal human equality?


It seems that Arab women have developed in the womb of the cycle of social forces: opposite and conflicting and competing. It is the definition of closed cultures in Arab societies is taken as the cultures retain traditional forms of femininity which is a violation of women's fundamental rights are commonplace and acceptable.

There is nothing new, in case we wanted to provide some facts and data about the bitter reality of Arab women. Of course, as they together with their children make up the vast majority of asylum cases in places where wars or conflicts or natural disasters.

The women also are the first victim of the prostitution trade which extends across the entire world. And their bodies remain wide open for experiments to increase birth control or to select it.  As increasing militarism so to speak or the so-called violence against women (domestic rape) and women in some of our communities continue to suffer from the practices of female genital mutilation. Not to mention the economic weakness and the lack of financial independence.

But it makes no sense and is deplorable accept some Arab women For those appearances, arguing that they have got used to such practices. Even a lot of our women do not know anything about the exploit.

When we try to evaluate those problematic hybrid and complex dialectic certainly we will face and severely brunt of the following questions:

1- Why are not linked to manhood when the Arab human only through the process of repression and oppression of Arab women?

2- Does anyone have the right -based on the principles of universal human rights- the approval of the violation of his humanity?

3- Do we need to try to devise a conclusion and implications of new beliefs from an ethical perspective humane?

4-  Is the vital area of ​​the guarantor of the rights of Arab women should stems mainly from a humanitarian moral legal system and not of the culture of patriarchal society?


Based on the above and in a language clear and unequivocal and absolute we have to think cautiously in terms of how we use such as women and femininity, identity and honor and manhood. Repression maximum real experienced by the Arab patriarchal society is the loss of human spiritual strength which may help them to fly in the sky of freedom and opportunity and appropriate choices and thus stop to determine what is best for Arab women and what they should do
