AbstractThis article proposes a framework for empirical research on contested meaning of norms in international politics. The goal is to identify a design for empirical research to examine associative connotations of norms that come to the fore when norms are contested in situations of governance beyond-the-state and especially in crises. If cultural practices shape experience and expectations, they need to be identified and made ‘account-able’ based on empirical research. To that end, the proposed qualitative approach centres on individually enacted meaning-in-use. The framework comprises norm-types, conditions of contestation, types of divergence and opposition-deriving as a specific interview evaluation technique. Section one situates the problem of contestation in the field of constructivist research on norms. Section two introduces distinctive conditions of contestation and types of norms. Section three details the methodology of conducting and evaluating interviews and presents the technique of opposition-deriving with a view to reconstructing the structure of meaning-in-use. Section four concludes with an outlook to follow-up research.

 The pandemic created by the Corona virus and the history of biological events have brought to the fore some sort of relation between microorganisms and state affairs. This relationship has been studied through the perspective of the realism theory of international relations. This exploratory qualitative research employed data from various literatures and assessed those data to establish a link between them. The research has confirmed that security is a link between microorganisms and realism. Microorganisms affect human health, society and state affairs and create economic and political chaos. This anomaly in state affairs is seen to jeopardize a state’s security. It is established that microorganisms possess a threat for survival of the state by putting the cores of state security in peril. This research suggests that actions against these threats is a priority obligation for all states to fulfil.

The obstacles faced by the State prosecutor's Office in implementing the execution of fine ticketed are among other tickets that are not immediately paid by the violators, because of the ticket violators who are not residents originating from the Pulang Pisau but only riders passing through the Pulang Pisau; Violators reasoned if the busy factor had not attended trial; As well as the amount of workload received by the employees makes the handling of speeding things less efficient.

Further Development

This article argues that the normative promise of recognition theory in International Relations has become increasingly inadequate to the cross-cutting and intersecting issues characteristic of a globalised and fragmented world. Engaging in critical readings of cosmopolitan forms of recognition theory, the critique of sovereignty and Markell’s influential critique of recognition theory, I suggest that the increasing ontological specificity of recognition theory in IR has come at the expense of its ability to develop links between different areas of international politics. The result is a failure to deal with recognition’s simultaneity, or the co-existence of analytically distinct and internally coherent recognition orders that is characteristic of the international. Building on this insight, I argue that a more historically-sensitive and materialist approach to recognition can be grounded in the concept of multiplicity. By opening recognition up to processes of interaction, and not merely reproduction, multiplicity frames the international more clearly as a historical presupposition, rather than a limit, of recognition. Furthermore, placing recognition struggles within the state, international institutions or transnational movements in relation to each other ensures that IR can contribute to the further development of recognition theory by situating recognition struggles at the intersection of different moral geographies.

As late as 1966, Martin Wight could still pose the question: “why is there no international relations theory?” By this he meant the absence of a tradition of speculation about relations between states, family of nations, or the international community, comparable to that of political theory as speculation about the state. To the extent that it did exist, it was marked by “intellectual and moral poverty” caused both by the prejudice imposed by the sovereign state and the belief in progress (Wight 1995: 15-16 &19). Unlike political theory, which has been progressivist in its concern with pursuing interests of state as “theory of the good life”, international politics as the “theory of survival” constituted the “realm of recurrence and repetition” (Wight 1995: 25 & 32). Essentially, therefore, it had nothing new to offer.

Qualifying a realist interpretation, this essay argues that the dialectical involvement of the state as an individual with its external relations exposes international politics as a matter of both anarchy and war, and mutual recognition and practical morality among states in Hegel's theory of international relations. With the absolute distinction between internal community and external anarchy removed, Hegel's account of civil society becomes relevant to his theory of international relations. Both as an analogy and concretely, it provides indications for a partial transcendence of sovereign statehood and international anarchy by institutionalised co-operation and political (self-)regulation in a transnationalising civil society.

This qualitative research was conducted with a background to enrich the discourse and paradigm regarding the pattern of Early Childhood education in character formation. In addition, researchers want to detect and see the effects of center learning on the formation of early childhood character. Although each learning pattern has an influence and has a change in students, the center's activities have a unique value in character planting. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach using Spradley analysis. The results of the study describe the state of character education in learning centers in the Islamic Village kindergarten. That the internalization of character values is carried out through the foothold in the center from the initial conditioning to the footing after playing. Thus this research is expected to provide a positive new discourse and has the aim to provide a true understanding of what is happening around us.

This article reviews the state of the art of qualitative research on femicide, which, until the publication of this Special Issue, has been extremely sparse. The paper mentions some of the limitations of the qualitative approach, such as time consumption, ethical liabilities, and non-generalizability. However, it advocates qualitative research because of its advantages in capturing the context, describing the experience, identifying the motives, highlighting the relationship between perpetrator and victim, identifying the risk factors, and suggesting apt policies. The article concludes by cautiously recommending a mixed-/merged-methods approach, which, in turn, depends upon the research question and has its own inherent disadvantages.
