Power in Global Governance: Power, institutions, and the production of inequality
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the three varieties of liberal writing that dominated so much academic thinking within international relations in the 1990s and that continue to underpin much of the debate on global governance and argue that power recedes so far into the background that we are left with a strikingly apolitical and far too cosy a view of institutions and of global governance.

What was bipolarity
TL;DR: This article argued that the distinctive feature of post-World War II international politics was not that two states were more powerful than the others, as the literature on bipolarity would suggest, but that one state, the Soviet Union, occupied in peacetime a position of near-dominance on the Eurasian continent, a position that states in the past had been able to achieve only after a series of military victories.

Falsification and the Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes
TL;DR: For centuries knowledge meant proven knowledge, proven either by the power of the intellect or by the evidence of the senses as discussed by the authors.
