Understanding International Politics
Throughout history anarchy has placed a certain amount of constraint on international politics. For years international scholars have tried to figure out whether realism or liberalism does a better job in explaining it. Although liberalists possess strong arguments, realism does a better job describing the restrictions that anarchy has on international politics. ... After identifying these core differences, I will present evidence that shows why realism is superior to liberalism in understanding international politics. ... In the anarchic world of international politics there is no police to protect states from others, therefore realists believe that each state needs to protect itself from other states. ... Realists consider states as the only actors in international politics, although states have many non-government organizations the ultimate power is held by the state itself. ...
On the other hand; liberalist believe that building a states military force is too costly and not a prime factor in international politics, they also feel that non-governmental and ethnic organizations are crucial actors in a states behavior. ... Liberalists believe that states can work together, especially with the help of those international organizations. ... States need to protect themselves from other states, because in an anarchic world there is no international military that will protect states.
