Realism |
The school of thought which argues that the global political arena is made up of individual states, each with their own standards and no obligation to one another or a common morality. This school of thought more often aligns with a state's national interests of national security and economic prosperity. For example, Australia's realist campaign "Operation Sovereign Borders" aimed to help the state achieve national security. |

Cosmopolitanism |
The school of ethical thought in which it is believed that all human beings belong to a single community based on a common morality. This school of thought has led to the creation of treaties such as the responsibility to protect doctrine, which states that states should intervene where there are human rights abuses in other states, regardless of the sovereignty of those states. |
