The Theory of Realism in the US

Realism is one of the oldest theories of international relations. It can provide prospects for competition and power and can be used to explain behavior among nations. An example of realism is the reaction of the United States during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, or lack of correspondence. There are several areas in realism, but there are some common central principles in them. The realist believes that the world is in an anarchic state. Because governments can not prevent punishment when attacking or attacking each other, it is important that each country protects itself and ensures its survival.

In order to understand international relations deeply, everyone has to master many theories, realism theory, liberal theory, international political economy theory. Realism theory is one of the oldest theories created so far. Therefore, many people believe realism theory is an outdated method, or realism theory can no longer be used for describing international relations. However, we are convinced that realism theory plays a necessary role in explaining the current international relations. In this paper, we will prove that realism theory is not an outdated theory in international relations, because realism theory is still being used to explain international relations in the current situation. Firstly, I will outline the realism theory and then do some case studies to prove that the realism theory will not be outdated.

Since the concept of discipline realism and political realism have become the dominant theory of international relations. The theory claims to rely on the ancient tradition of thinking including writers such as Thucydides, Machiavelli and Hobbes. Early realism can be explained as a reaction to idealism during the two world wars. The outbreak of World War II was seen as evidence of idealistic flaws by realists. There are various ideas of modern realism. However, the main principles of this theory were identified as nationalism, survival, and self-help.
