Congratulations!

Do you plan on sticking with the Master's degree or are you planning to pursue a doctorate as well?

Well what you simply dont understand is ...

Were remapping the universe

ADM: Wait....oh no.

*universe begins unraveling in front of everyone*

ADM: Dangit Tamiy, now the universe is about to collapse in front of us!

TADM: well what you still dont understand is this was my plan all along.
I will shred this universe down to it's last atom and then, with the stones you've collected for me, create a new one. It is not what is lost but only what it is been given... a grateful universe.

Btw, it hard to continue the rp when only ES has responded to the ship count.

I have never been involved with the rp and I fully regret it. Mostly because what happens is when I am active in NS you all are in the middle of a new rp, I dont bother to ask about it, then I destabilize the region by proposing new ambitious programs, everyone gets excited and engaged, a vote is held, I get busy and forget about NS.

I am the RP destroyer.

It has been so long since I've had to reset the universe. Please try and preserve this one. I hate using the button.

Oh gee, I think one of the Eldritch horrors my nation has been holding captive just escaped.

Motion to establish a licensing board and require licenses for all Dark Rituals™* that occur within the Federation's borders!

* A Dark Ritual, for the purposes of this motion, refers to any attempt to summon an otherworldly creature for purposes other than spiritual fulfillment. (Summoning a creature for spiritual fulfillment should be construed as free exercise of religion.)

Motion denied. Regulation and licensing is for commies.

Calamari anyone?

Oooooh. Any specific focus in your theory studies or a general study?

Well in political science I'm focusing primarily on Austrian school - currently Ludwig Lachmann's theory of divergent expectations (I belong to irrationalist wing of the school). And Rothbard + Mises combo of course :-D. But I also deal with Public Choice theory, Arrow's theorem and it's usage in political systems.

In political theory I'm focusing on critical theory - mostly "classical" neo-marxists like Adorno, Horkheimer and Marcuse (my favorite). But I'm also studying post-marxist critique of post-industrial capitalist legitimacy, where are interesting concepts of "compensation" of this lost legitimacy like deliberative model of Jurgen Habermas, or Agoristic democracy of Chantal Mouffe. I would like to know more about postmodern structuralism and post-structuralism (Focault etc.). Oh and neoinstitutionalism... yes, neoinstitutionalism... expecially rationalist institutionalism :-D.

Things that I'm not focusing on (but in future I could I guess :-D), but know something about it as well is - Hegel and dialectic, Multiculturalism of Will Kymlicka and Yuli Tamir, feminism and it's development, classical Marxism, Classical political economy, Cameralist economics, Keynesianism, Lausanne school of economy.

...I really HATE political marketing (marketing overall), medial studies, theories of political systems, theories of parties and party system, international relations theories (except world-system by Wallerstein) etc etc... there is a ton of stuff that I really don't care about but still need to study it :-D.
