Introduction to Realism

The term realism or political realism collects a wide variety of theories and mode of thoughts about international relations that have in common that the motivation of states is the first place the strive for (mostly) military and economic power on security, rather than ideas or ethics. The term is mostly used as a synonym for power politics, sometimes realism is also refer to classical realism, the oldest form of realism 

History Of Realism

Realism became a discipline in international relations during and after WORLD WAR II . Realism is nevertheless similar to and perhaps even found its origin in earlier writers like
Sanzi (sun tzu), an ancient Chinese military strategist who wrote the ART OF WAR.
Chanakya, early Indian statesman, and writer of the Arthashatra
Thudcydides, an ancient Greek historian who wrote the history of the Pelopenesian War and is also cited as an intellectual fore-bearer of real politics

 Basic Theory

fundamental principles common to realist theories : 
  • The international system is anarchic
  • Sovereign states are the principal actors in the international system
  • Dismissal of the independent influence of international organizations, sub states or trans-state actors
  • focus on the primary importance of nationalism as opposed to sub national groupings, or transnational ideological of cultural groupings
  • States are rational actors , acting on their national interest 
  • Distrust of long term cooperation of alliance
  • The overriding goal of each state is its own security and survival 
  • Fundamental nature of the security dilemma 
  • State survival is guaranteed best by power, principally military in character 
  • Focus on relative power for example ''zero sum'' versus absolute power

Realism makes several key assumptions . Primarily Realism make several key assumptions primarily it assumes that mean time is not inherently  benevolent and kind but self centred and competitive in contrast to other theories of international relations such as liberalism. it also fundamentally is you want that International system is anarchic.In the sense that there is no  authority about States capable of regulating their interactions, States must try a relation with other state on their own rather than it begin dictated to them by some higher controlling entity.It also assumes that the virgins States rather than International institutions Non governmental organisations or multinational corporations are the primary actress in international affairs according to religion each state is a rational actor that always acts towards its own self interest in the primary goal of each state is to ensure its on security realism holds that in pursuit of the security States will attempt to amass  resources and that relations between states are determined by the relative level of power that level of power is investment determined by the states capability both military and economic

More over realist believe that states are inherently aggressive or obsessed with security and that territorial expansion is only constraint by opposing power this aggressive build up however leads to a security dilemma we're increasing once and security can bring along greater instability as the opponent build up its own Arms .does security is a  zero Sum game where only relative games can be made.

Distinction between structural realism and liberal Realism

there is a distinction between structural realism and liberalism also known as neoliberal institutionalism. the former emphasize The permanent condition of conflict. does to ensure States, state must be in constant preparation for conflict economy and military buildup. The latter holds that while the system is anarchical,  through diplomacy, International laws in society, orders can be promoted, this gives credence to establish IGos such as the United Nations.
modern realism and classical realism
classical realism
mordongri Amazon begin as the serious field of research in the United States during and after World War 2. this evolution was partly fue led by European war  migrants who had a negative view of human nature, thought by some to be due to their experiences in World War 2.

structural or  neorealism

non realism resembles classical realism on account.  how average neorealism predominantly focuses on international system rather than human nature.While States remain the principal actors greater attention is given to the forces Above and below the state through a level of analysis or structure agency debate. with the International system as a structure acting on the state and individuals below the list the state acting as agency on the state as a whole
Robert  Jarvis- defensive realism
Kenneth   Waltz - defensive realism
Robert  Gilpin - hegemonic theory

 neoclassical realism

neoclassical religion can be seen as a third generation of realism coming after the classical office of the first wave. its  designation of neoclassical, then, has a double meaning.
 firstly it offers the classics  r e n a i s s a n c e
secondly it is a synthesis of the neo and the classical approach

Nationalism

The ideal pattern of modern state is the nation state, seeking to express itself through sovereign political authority. To every conscious human being of our age, weather free of struggling for freedom, nationalism is the most important possession where nothing else is good enough to compensate and the highest ideal, which no other consideration is great enough to substitute. On the other hand, it is most fanatical dogma, which no longer is strong enough to bear through. Since the dawn of civilization, it has been the motive force in world politics and has dictated the course of the world history. It has thus secured as well as destroyed human freedom. Under its mighty impact, the vas Roman Empire crushed, resulting in the freedom of component countries.

The Second World War would have remained ever fought if the expanding German Nationalism would not have clashed with...
