the place of religion in international politics is mainly discussed under the themes of revival or resurgence of religion.

The book says "The first wave occurred in the aftermath of the world war due to the dissolution of Habsburg and Ottoman Empires."

It was the carnage of World War I (WWI), between 1914 and 1918, that urged political leaders on the side of winners to provide security by preventing the occurrence of a new Great War.

Cold War ended with the fall of Berlin Wall in November 1989 and the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in December 1991. This meant the plethora of views, actions, and debates on security in international politics from the stance points of both intellectuals and officials in the post-Cold War era.

According to Buzan, a security complex refers to “a group of states whose primary security concerns link together sufficiently closely that their national securities cannot realistically be considered apart from one another.” The method of security complex provides a clear understanding to analyse regional security relations among states existing in the forms of well-established and stable in the developed North and of problematic and unstable in the developing South.

In the United Nations (UN) report titled "Report of the UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges, and Change" in 2004, six clusters of global security threats that the world has now faced and will face in years ahead are listed as economic and social threats, inter-state conflicts, internal conflicts, weapons of mass destructions, terrorism, and transnational organized crimes (The United Nations, 2004, 23). "Biological weapons" are not listed as a threat in this report.

Realism provides a wide range of theoretical tools on security including its both Classical and Neorealist versions. Despite some differences, Classical Realism and Neo-realism as a whole body of Realist paradigm share some common assumptions that are key in understanding security in international politics.

Classical Realism and Neo-realism as a whole body of Realist paradigm share some common assumptions that are key in understanding security in international politics. These common assumptions are: 1) International system is anarchic; 2) Power is the defining notion of state behaviors in the anarchic international environment; 3) States are the most important units/actors in international politics; and 4) States are unitary and rational actors. Choice A "International corporations are the most important units/actors in international politics." is not a common assumption of Classical Realism and Neo-realism. So the correct answer is A.

As war is always a possibility among states, the anarchic international system, as Realists cite from Thomas Hobbes, implies a “war of all against all”. Mistrust is the common attitude of states towards each other in an anarchic international system and states cannot rely on any promises of other states or international institutions, but only on themselves, self-help (Terriff et al., 1999: 31-32).
