Brock F. Tessman's International Anarchy

Improved Essays
International anarchy is widely recognized as the fundamental element in the theory of realism. Under such an environment, states are the main players and are eager to seek for security and profits as international institution have minimal impacts on the global political system. Without the restraint from a well-established international law, the relationship between states becomes tenser and tenser as unreliability and sharp vigilance lead to eventual security dilemma, a state of chaos in which cooperation is unlikely to take place and the only option is to launch a war. Likewise, the background of the simulation game by Brock F. Tessman is known as the mini version of an anarchic international system where a state’s interest often comes into

    The Pros Of Constructivism

    The constructivist turn in IR marks a shift from the material determinants of international politics to ideational factors, such as beliefs, ideas, and norms. The two dominant theoretical schools in IR, neorealism and neoliberal institutionalism (NLI), share several key assumptions regarding the anarchic nature of the international system, states are self-interested, rational actors, driven by material interests in power/survival (neorealists) or security (NLI). In addition, neorealism and NLI both rely on a rational choice framework borrowed from microeconomics that assumes cost-benefit analysis and utility maximization as the impetus behind state’s political calculus. Although conditioned by the same assumptions, neorealists and NLI reach vastly different conclusions regarding the potential for conflict and cooperation in international politics.…

    In Taming Democracy (2007), Terry Bouton gives a thoroughly somber interpretation of the achievements of popular economic and political reforms within Pennsylvania resulting from the American Revolution. Bouton argues that despite increased suffrage and political participation, the majority of “ordinary people” were disappointed in the system of democracy which evolved in the decades following independence. While a significant proportion of white males achieved notable political rights as a result of the revolutionary movement, “in terms of economic well-being that gave independence its meaning, life in postwar Pennsylvanian resembled the dark days of the 1760s and 1770s.” The elite class of society, who during the 1760s and 1770s supported…

As a professor of history at Yale University, he uses his expertise on Nazism and Communism to construct his arguments (Snyder, 88).…

    Previous to beginning this simulation, I had minimal knowledge concerning the conflict between Pakistan and India. The simulation put into perspective how complex matters are between these two states and how quickly an action that did not appear threatening to you has an adverse effect. The knowledge I acquired throughout the simulation, however, not only helped me understand the simulation but also the core material behind it. Despite reading the text and coming to lectures, some of the concepts discussed above were hard to comprehend and the simulation provided a hands-on experience. The concept of groupthink was easy to analyze, however, seeing the process develop was a whole different experience.…

    He ignores rules to save lives, despite the danger that he may face. This is evident when Charlie poaches off the Colonel’s land. While this may seem like something he did just to be rebellious, it was actually because “there was no money” and they “were becoming very hungry.” This highlights how Charlie was prepared to do whatever it took to make sure his family had food. He would do anything to help his family survive because he cares about his family, and wants to make sure they don't die.…

    Realism and the End of the Cold War by William C. Wohlforth argues that Modern realism began in a reaction to the breakdown in the post-World War One international order. Wohlforth’s main ideology is realism and states how the rise and fall of realism has taken place, but stresses that international world events cannot weaken or destroy the realist ideology. The collapse of the great power cooperation helped emerge realism to be a dominant position in international relations. The central question presented in this article looks to seek to ask, did the rapid decline and peaceful collapse of the Soviet State, along with the postwar international order, discredit the realist approach? However, Wohlforth believes that.…

    In this paper, I will expand the Neorealist argument that international cooperation is unlikely due to the constraints of anarchy, and that cooperation will only occur when two states face a common threat. I will also present the Neoliberal argument that holds international cooperation as difficult, yet likely, so long as institutions are in place to lower transaction costs. From a Neorealist perspective international cooperation is highly unlikely. Neorealists assert that there is no overarching authority in the international system. The only major actors in international politics are sovereign states.…

    The commitment problem rests in the idea that states are unable to reach mutually beneficial prewar agreements because one or both parties would have incentives to renege on the terms. Fearon does in fact state that this problem is inherently linked to anarchy, but only in so much that there is no central governing body to enforce the terms of any prewar agreement. He once again fails to clearly link this to Waltz’s self-help notion, which when applied to this situation would make it so that states are ultimately incapable of reaching an agreement because of an innate distaste for cooperation and need for self reliance within the uncertain international field. Although Fearon’s failure to acknowledge the concept of self-help weakens his argument, it does not negate his claims entirely as they retain their merit and would only have benefitted from this additional…

    Realism And The Cold War

    Prominent in realist theory is the concept of anarchy. Anarchy in international politics is defined by Mearsheimer as a system of ‘independent political units (states) that have no central authority above them’ (Mearsheimer 1994). Such a system promotes the concepts of self-help, statism and survival which suggest that war is the result of independent states fighting for power and national interest in order to survive. Given that the world has only been at peace for 8% of all of recorded history (Hedges 2003), these concepts are of great significance to realist in order to dissect war and understand why it is so prominent in international politics. Therefore, the bases of this essay will be formed using the aforementioned concepts to outline…

    According to this theory, states should try to build order under anarchy. Anarchy is essentially a state that is without authority and in realism, due to anarchy they cannot rely on their allies to survive, and instead use an international system of checks and balances among states. The stronger the state, the more power they have to impose order on weaker states; essentially pushing their beliefs onto weaker states. (Shiraev and Zubok.41). Real politik is a policy that is based on realist assumptions that the foundation of a nation’s security is power and the threat of its use- a policy that staes no international order is perfect or lasts forever, when one falls, another rises.…

    Theories can help simplify the complexities of international politics. Theories help create an abstract understanding and an explanation of why and how the states behave. Realism, liberalism, and constructivism all have different perspectives of how the states should operate, but not one of those theories is more accurate than the other or explains the real world problems. I organized this paper based on the most famous theories: realism,liberalism, and constructivism along with their core perceptions of the world and their criticism following regards them through other lenses.…

    The Oxford Dictionary online (2016) defines international relations as “the way in which two or more nations interact with and regard each other, especially in the context of political, economic, or cultural relationships”. However, what to include and exclude in the definition is a controversial topic and there is still no decisive answer of what international relations means. Scholars have been suggesting various definitions, for instance, one source stated that International Relations (i.e. the study of international relations, referred to as IR) is defined as “the study of interactions among the various actors that participate in international politics including states, international organizations…and individuals” (Mingst et al. 2014: 2)…
