Classical realism vs structural realism
Authors
Dr. Anil Kumari
Abstract
The two realism
theories are compared and contrasted throughout this research paper, with an
emphasis on how differently they explain the forces that influence state
behaviour. Additionally, the study talks on neo-realism, a key idea in
structural realism that was popularized by Kenneth Waltz. The paper explores
Waltz's claim that the international system is anarchic and that states exist
in a self-helping mode, depending on their own resources to survive. The essay
also examines the sub-schools of structural realism, including defensive and
offensive realism. The overall examination of Classical Realism and Structural
Realism in International Relations provided in this research paper is thorough.
It contributes to the current discussion over the nature of state behaviour in
that it illustrates the benefits and drawbacks of each theory of the
international system.
