ORDER NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT: Weaknesses of the realist Perspectives

Week 1 Discussion IR Theories Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths and Weaknesses of the realist, liberal, and identity perspectives Prepare: Read the Introduction and Chapter 1 of the course text.

Reflect: Perspectives have been described as “a statement or a hypothesis that explains the primary cause of what is happening—for example a struggle for power causes conflict and sometimes war” (Nau, 2017, p. 4). Our ability to describe, explain, and predict international relations (IR) are valuable skills that enable political scientists to influence and affect international politics and global leaders. One of the most important tools that international relations experts routinely utilize are theoretical perspectives. Specifically, most IR specialists are experts at using realism, liberalism, and identity perspectives to describe, explain, and predict international relations. Consequently, students of IR must master these perspectives and the intricacies of their major principles and tenets.

Write: In your initial post of at least 200 words, complete the following:

  • Describe one strength of each of the realist, liberal, and identity perspectives.
  • Describe one weaknesses of each of the realist, liberal, and identity perspectives.
  • Assess which perspective(s) provides a more comprehensive and accurate explanation of world events.

Respond to Peers: By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial posts. Your peer responses must be at least 75 words each. As you reply to your classmates, attempt to take the conversation further by examining their claims or arguments in more depth, or responding to the posts that they make to you. Keep the discussion on target and try to analyze things in as much detail as you can. For instance, you might evaluate

FYI.

REFERENCE REQUIREMENTS

1- There should be a cited reference for each section of a paper as there are conclusion statements in each section (to meet the grading criteria) so the conclusion should be supported by a reference as the assignments are evidence-based research, clinical papers.

The word count must be within the minimum and maximum word limit stated in the assignment instructions. A 10% – point reduction will be made in the total points for the assignment.
