What is usually customary in social sciences, especially in international relations, is to events in different parts of the world (Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Europe, etc.) of theories (realism, idealism, constructivism, post-colonialism, etc.)its application to global issues.
Can not the other way around? In other words, cannot a theory be created from events and facts such as war, conflict and alliance of regional and global nature?
