Why Is Power Central to Realist Perspectives of International Relations?

Introduction Historically, realism is always the dominant theory of international relations, explains the basic characteristics of international politics and inevitably relates to conflict and war (Chiaruzzi, 2012, pp. 36 ). Basically, there are two graphical methods of classical realism and neolitism. Classical realists pay close attention to historical reality and see its principle, direction and practice from a historical point of view (Chiaruzzi, 2012, pp. 37). In contrast, neo-realism is based on a scientific approach based on economic theory and scientific philosophical studies, not historical considerations (Chiaruzzi, 2012, pp.

As insisting that realism provides important insight into the functioning of power in world politics, and because it is the dominant paradigm in international relations (IR), I first declared the world politics and the Cuban missile crisis Analysis of the realistic power center approach to explain Schmidt), 2007; Sterling-Folker & Shinko, 2007). Second, the "reality" of world politics explains how to recognize that social construction is that knowledge is important, and explains "realistic" discourse knowledge formed by constructive events Provide knowledge base constructivism impact method. Practice can imagine US behavior in Cuba's missile crisis. Finally, I have explored ways to maintain a dominant understanding of the world (especially the Cuban missile crisis) and to continue to form "possible" behaviors and perceptions of world politics.

Power is the core concept of international relations. Since the role of power is very important to the dominant world view of this field, as is often discussed in IR, the theoretical debate starts with a realism point of view. Realists believe that "power struggle" is a decisive feature of the international situation, understanding is a realistic premise of successful policies. Rather, understanding the power is important to answer two important questions. Who can expect to win in a dispute? Who will manage international politics? Converted into the theoretical field, the force becomes the core variable of the double causal relationship. For realists, the power or resources considered "capacity" are indicators of actors' power, and are therefore indicators of their ability to influence and control events. Likewise, the general ability to manage results has been used as an indicator of how international systems are managed.
