This article seeks to expand the discussion on Methodological Nationalism (MN)within discipline of International Relations (IR), contribute MN literature from perspective IR studies and evaluate prevalence in field by quantification selected works. To achieve these goals, article, firstly, recapitulates general critically evaluates this IR. Later, it identifies forms as they appear with two fac...

This report is a rst attempt of formalizing the diagonalization proof technique. We give a strategy how to systematically construct diagonalization proofs: (i) nding an indexing relation, (ii) constructing a diagonal element, and (iii) making the implicit contradiction of the diagonal element explicit. We suggest a declarative representation of the strategy and describe how it can be realized i...

The last few years have seen an opening up of what is considered to be the legitimate terrain of international relations (IR). This move is, for the most part, extremely welcome. Yet, the multiple theoretical and empirical openings in IR since the end of the Cold War have failed to elucidate many of the puzzles, questions and problems posed by the contemporary conjuncture. There are a number of...

Conceptualisations of attachment to one's nation of origin reflecting a symbolic caregiver can be found cross-culturally in literature, art, and language. Despite its prevalence, the relationship with one's nation has not been investigated empirically in terms of an attachment theory framework. Two studies employed an attachment theory approach to investigate the construct validity of symbolic ...

We show that the observed scatter in the relations between the mass of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), Mbh, and the velocity dispersion σsph or mass Msph of their host spheroid, place interesting constraints on the process that regulates SMBH growth in galaxies. When combined with the observed properties of early-type SDSS galaxies, the observed intrinsic scatters imply that SMBH growth is re...
