  3. Core Traditions Realism: Thucydides, Hobbes, Waltz International Politics = Anarchy States Maximize Interests Liberalism: Wilson, UN, Cooperation via Norms & Institutions Better Imperialism & World System: Problem = N-S not E-W Bureaucratic Politics: Foreign Policy NOT Caused by Global Politics, Must Open Black Box

  4. Classics of Realism Thucydides: The Peloppynisian War Inter-State Equilibrium via WAR 16th-17th Century: Diplomacy/Permanent Army as Bureaucracy and State 19th Century Equilibrium via Diplomacy

  5. 20th Century WWI = end of Multi-Polar Equilibrium via Diplomacy Woodrow Wilson & League of Nations = Liberalism 1945-1990 Cold War & Bi-Polar World 1990-2001 US Hegemony  Stability? Multilateralism, UN / EU Transational Politics – norms & construction of institutions (NGO´s, Anti- Globalization) 2001 Terror & Democratization

  6. Material From ReadingNew Handbook of Political Science • Debate 1) Original "idealism" versus "realism.“ • Debate 2) "scientific" approach versus "traditional" approach. • Debate 3) “neo-realism“ versus “globalists / pluralists / structuralists / Neo-Marxists / Post-Positivists / interdependence / world society / critical IR Theory” Kenneth Waltz (Realism) versus "bureaucratic politics," "interdependence" and other subnational and transnational concerns

  7. Realism Morgenthau (1947) Waltz (1979) : GLOBAL ANARCHY / STATES  State strategy = maximizing interests 3 "Hobbesian" motives: 1) Security; 2) Satisfy Domestic Economic Demands (of politically significant domestic population); 3) Enhance international prestige.

  8. Core ideas of Realism International system = anarchy & self-help. No single effective central authority  nation-state must protect the economic and security interests of its citizens. External environment determines policy. Uncertainty fosters "Hobbesian fear“.

  9. Hobbesian Fear If one state belligerent in an anarchic system, then all potentially affected states must either follow a realpolitik strategy in return or be protected by another state. States are in a continuous state of preparedness to use force for either offensive or defensive purposes

  10. Government strategy = • maximize power (Bull 1977) • avoid the development of power elsewhere (Waltz) • avoid relationships in which it is obliged to play a subordinate role (Galtung 1964) • prevent others from making advances in their relative capabilities (Grieco).

  11. Critics of Realism 1) Justifies existing power structure (Peterson 1992); 2) Reifies causality (Ashley 1986); open process  can change… 3) Underestimates importance of political discourses (Enloe 1994; Campbell 1992); must justify power  legitimacy 4) Underestimates subjective meanings, rules and norms (Hollis and Smith 1990); human behavior set in meaning… 5) “National Interests” too broad, ad hoc concept

  12. Complexity and Post-Realism Important questions in international relations: • How will different factions inside the opposing country react? NEED EMPIRICAL INFORMATION • 2) Will policy strengthen the position of friendly factions in the opposing country? NEED TWO LEVEL GAME MODEL… 3) Will policy be seen as a precedent or sui generis? MARKETING/PUBLIC RELATIONS SHAPES PERCEPTIONS 4) How will public opinion in the opposing country react? XENOPHOBIA OR PEACE? 5) How will domestic public opinion react? XENOPHOBIA OR PEACE? 6) How will the decision-maker's own party react? PRO? CONTRA? 7) Will this option effect third parties? 8)  Will policy  Desired outcome?

  13. Core Ideas of Neo-Liberalism The international system is an anarchic, self-help one. The states that comprise it are self-regarding interest-maximizers. Interdependence mitigates conflict by • economic interpenetration in terms of international trade and financial flows; • nation-states' collective interest in avoiding a major nuclear war; and • nation-states' collective interest in avoiding ecological catastrophe. Renovação liberal: Joseph Nye, Soft Power: The Means to Success in World Politics. 2004

  14. Core Ideas of International Society / Constructionism 1) Cooperation = Mutual Benefit 2) Norms/Values are basis of  “regimes” in Policy Spheres Human Rights International Trade GATT, WTO Multinational Enterprises, Code of Conduct “Equator Principles” for sustainable finance

  15. Third Tradition in Political Science:Bureaucratic Politics Realism and Liberalism predict policy from international system... Must Open Black Box of Government (via Organizational Theory) Explain Foreign Policy? 1) Agencies? Organizations? Interests? 2) Agenda/actors 3) Meetings & decision making Classic Example: Graham Allison, Essence of Decision Cuban Missile Crisis: Realism / Liberalism wrong... Details of Negotiations = Organizations/Actors/Process...
