Anarchy

views. Anarchy is a condition of International Relations that requires states to rely on their own power(Shiraev and Zubok.41).

Realism is an approach to International Relations…

When studying the world of international politics, different frameworks are utilized to explain the actions and phenomena that occur.

countries took advantage of what they deemed as inferior. This rationality or rather irrationality was later applied to IR theory. Henderson argues that the relationship between racism and IR theory is evident in the study of anarchy. Conceptions of anarchy in IR borrow heavily from social contract theorists such as Hobbes, Locke Rousseau, and Kant. Borrowing from Mills, Henderson argues that social contract theorists often conceptualize the state of nature in racist terms. Further,…

When addressing issues in tyrannical situations, life get’s much harder. And there is another option for dealing with oppressive governments: leaving or escaping the society. This solution has many difficulties as well, and it still points to anarchy as more desirable. First problem is that people generally don’t want to leave their homeland.
