Failure of Paradigm - October 31, 2013

The terms "insiders" and "outsiders" are common in international relations terminology. Insiders, in other words, residents are a definition given to countries that have established themselves in the international environment and see themselves as normal. Countries defined as outsiders are a definition given to countries that are cowed, who have not been able to put themselves in a status in the international environment and have not been able to establish themselves. For example; Japan has not taken its place, despite its economic power, neither in Asia nor among the great powers of the international system, and it is not completely comfortable among the Western powers. In this respect, it is possible to define Japan as a country outside.
