Based on the following answers, which is the most accurate about the role and functions of the theoretical framework in International Relations Research? Select one: a. Rajarajman uses Social Constructivism in his research about NATO to reject Neorealism’s logic of anarchy when explaining the changing ideas and norms after Cold War, which have reconfigured the traditional functions of military alliances among European countries. b. Abdullah uses Neoclassical Realism to provide contextual story when examining the causal relations between national interest and the ability of the undemocratic regime of President Bashir Al Asad of Syria to survive despite the mounting Western pressures following Arab Spring and domestic threats of ISIS. In using this theory as his theoretical framework, he operationalised and conceptualised his hypothesis - national interest as the independent variable is informed by both logic of anarchy in international politics and new domestic threats of radical Islamic groups to provide more persuasions for the rest of Western superpowers including Russia to support President Assad rather than demanding him to step down due to the ability of the ISIS to upset the Western interest in international politics. c. Cheng Ann use the assumptions of Neoliberalism about ‘complex interdependence’ among nation states to provide contextual dynamics for the free trade as the independent variable to encourage the proliferations of regionalism in ASEAN, She then suggested in her Chapter about Myanmar admission to ASEAN that by using such framework, she should be able to reject her hypothesis about political-cultural differences discourage greater supranational interdependencies between Myanmar and the richest countries in ASEAN (Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand). Nonetheless, her thesis confirmed the necessary logic of economy rather than politics in comparative regionalism with other regional arrangements. d. John uses the combination of Neo-Marxist and Poststructuralist theories in operationalising his hypothesis about the ability of recent economic recessions as the independent variable in shifting the economic power from the US to China in international politics. Using trade statistics, He then suggested in his concluding chapter on the inability of the IR theories to catching up with the latest updates in global economic relations between the US and China
