Question

What is the realist theory of international politics?

Answer 1

Answer:

Realist Theory of International relations

• Realism is a school of thought in international relations theory, theoretically formalising the Realpolitik statesmanship of early modern Europe.
• Although a highly diverse body of thought, it can be thought of as unified by the belief that world politics ultimately is always and necessarily a field of conflict among actors pursuing power.
• Crudely, realists are of three kinds in what they take the source of ineliminable conflict to be.
• Classical realists believe that it follows from human nature, neorealists focus upon the structure of the anarchic state system; neoclassical realists believe that it is a result of a combination of the two and certain domestic variables.
• Realists also disagree about what kind of action states ought to take to navigate world politics and neorealists are divided between defensive realism and offensive realism.
• Realists have also claimed that a realist tradition of thought is evident within the history of political thought all the way back to antiquity to Thucydides.
