Neo-realistic Approach In international Politics
When we search for the theoretical background of international politics, then Margenthau would come before us as a thinker of international politics whose subject in this matter. An important and unforgettable contribution. He gave a form and direction to realism. Political realism reached his hands and shone on the international sky as a distinct philosophy. His theory presents a logically credible basis for the operation of international politics. 'Power' is self-fulfillment - it is as if it is thekey in which the closed doors of international politics are opened. Margenthau International Politics Established a tradition of theoretical study in"Under the approach of the study of international relations, basically three principles or approaches or approaches come before us - first idealistic approach, second realist approach and third neo-realistic approach. Here we are describing the third approach, neo-realistic approach.
Neo-realistic Approach In international politics,contemporary realism is referred to by many names such as neo-realism or structural realism. As far as its emergence is concerned, after the Second World War, it is believed to be from the famous book 'Politics among nations' by the famous international thinker H.J. He composed this book in 1949. After the 80s, Kenneth Waltgave this approach the theoretical strength. The neo-realists interpret international events from the perspective of the structure of the international system and not according to the objectives of individual states. render.Neo-realists consider international conflicts to be the result of anarchist structure of the international system. According to him, no matter how friendly the mutual relations of different states are, sometimes differences or conflicts arise in them. Structural or neo-realism on this subject is often associated with Kenneth Waltz's Theory of International Politics(1979). Waltz was clearly of the view that the structure of the international system had a direct effect on the conduct and behavior of states. Does matter.Kenneth Waltz's structural realism is not the only paradigm of neo-realism. Among the neo-realists, names like Joseph Grecho, Hans, Margenthau, Raymond Aron, Stanley Hoffman are also notable. The Greeks represent the modern realists who are critical of the neo-liberals who believe that the sole aim of the states is to earn unlimited profits.According to him generally all states are interested in both unlimited and relative profit.In addition to these, neo-realists also place considerable emphasis on 'security studies'.
In general, two paradigms of neo-realism emerge before us.
1. Aggressive Neo Realism,
2. Protective Neo Realism
Like traditional realists, aggressive neo-realists assert that conflict is inevitable in international politics and that the leadership should always be on guard against expansionist forces, on the other hand, defensive neo-realists are aware of the consequences of war and believe that war should always be fought. It is the result of the activities and thinking of the irrational sections of the society.
Key Concepts of Neo Realism - Neo-Realism Basically Three Concepts Emphasizes on:
1. National interest,
2. National power, and
3. National securityImportant Principles of Realistic Approach to International Relations
The important principles of the realist approach are as follows:
1. Theory of Conflict,
2. Theory of Balance of Power,
3. Theory of Blockage,
4, Theory of Political Realism.
The most important of these is Morgenthau's theory of political realism.which is being described here. The Neo Realistic Approach: Morgenthau's Powerful Approach Margenthau has mainly emphasized 'power' in his model, hence it is also called 'power isn't approach'. Morgenthau believes that the basic basis of international politics is the 'concept of interest defined in terms of power'. Morgenthau's approach becomes a realistic approach by emphasizing the importance of national interest in the context of power. According to Morgenthau, "His theory is realistic because he sees human nature in its reality which has been reflected again and again in history from time immemorial."Thinkers such as Tretschke, Nietzsche and Erik Koppson have also emphasized this view of power before the First Great Depression. He considered power accumulation, power dissemination and power display as the characteristics of the state. Later scholars such as Frederick Watkins, Harald Laswell and David Easton considered the concept of power to be possibly abasic concept of contemporary political science. According to them, the political process means shaping power, distributing power and using power.' After 1945, scholars of international politics like E. H. Kar. George Schwarzenberger, Quincy Wright, Margenthau, etc. tried to apply this power concept of political science to international relations by expanding it. There may be differences of opinion among these realists about the role of power in international politics. Although there is a general consensus on the fact that 'power' is the most influential factor in international politics.
