Question

have you ever thought about national interest of state

Answer 1

Answer:

India’s ever closer ties with the US can be explained by the Indian elite’s realist paradigm, where “national interest” is accepted as a given. In fact, it is an ideological construction created to justify the pursuit of neo-liberal policies at the expense of the working class and poor masses. Vanaik deconsturcts the “national interest” paradigm and applies it to India’s case.

Realism and National Interest

The main reason why the notion of national interest is given such enormous, indeed decisive, weight in explaining the foreign policy behaviour of any country, including India, is because of the widespread belief that the Realism paradigm, even in its crudest form, accurately describes and explains the essential character and functioning of the world order.(2) According to this paradigm the world is basically an inter-state system where states are the primary, unitary and rational actors. Moreover, the state is perceived in a cartographic and not sociological sense, i.e. as a 'national-territorial totality' encompassing that whole space marked on any map as the country in question. This, of course, automatically makes the international order an inter-state system where it is the external relations between states that essentially shapes and establishes the character of the world order. And given the uneven distribution of power it is, of course, the strongest states that determine this character which can then either be unipolar, bipolar or multipolar where the latter term only means a very few more than two states. It follows that it is the foreign policies of the most powerful states and of the aspiring major powers that become the key determinant of global politics. And what else determines the foreign policies of states if not the pursuit of their respective national interests?
