Defining International Relations State-centric: It is the study of the relations of states‚ understood in diplomatic‚ military and strategic terms. The relevant unit is the state‚ not the nation.

existence of a hegemony possessing overwhelming power resources‚ i.e.‚ something like a legal monopoly of force. Neo-realism mostly adopts the premises of classical realism but attempts more differentiation (Gilpin 1981; Grieco 1988; Kennedy 1987; Waltz 1979). Since‚ in the neo-realist view‚ the anarchical structure of the international system dictates the maximization of relative power‚ IGOs are largely ineffective‚ and therefore meaningless. Thus‚ neo-realists argue‚ states must ensure that other

Origins of War Explanatory theories for the outbreak of World War I The phenomenon of chain-ganging has been used to explain the outbreak of World War I. Is chain ganging a convincing explanation for the onset of the war? In what ways? Are alternative explanations more compelling‚ and if so‚ how and why?

Conflicts between states and security competition are due to a lack of “an overarching authority above states and the relative distribution of power in the international system” (Dunne 98). Scholar Kenneth Waltz defined the structure of the international system in three elements: organizing principle‚ differentiation of units‚ and distribution of capabilities. To structural realists the distribution of capabilities gives important insight to grasping international
