GOVT 4847
Realist Theories of International Relations

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

"Realism" is often invoked in international relations to mean many different things. By policymakers, it has been cited as a source of support - and opposition - to America's recent wars.  By scholars, it is often used as a synonym for "structuralism", which it need not be.  In this course, we will look closely at the tradition of realism in IR theory, both to find out exactly what realism does stand for, and in order to better understand world politics more generally.

When Offered Spring.
