2 Paradigms Lost Erik Gartzke POLI 12, Lecture 2a August 9, 2010
3 Definitions Definition of Politics: Authoritative allocation of values, resources or prerogatives -- David Easton Definition of the State: Organization with a monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory -- Max Weber Definition of Anarchy: Absence of central authority.
4 Dueling Isms Much of modern international relations has been dominated by 2 (and later 3) isms Realism Liberalism Constructivism Definition: A paradigm is an approach to knowledge, a set of theories with a similar perspective.
5 Realism Realist assumptions: States are dominant actors in world politics Countries are egoistic They have preferences, seek to realize them Preferences: states want Power (offensive realism) Security (defensive realism)
6 Realism II Realists contrast hierarchy (within states) and anarchy (between states) Hierarchy: leviathan operates. Peace prevails Anarchy: world is self-help system. Permissive environment for conflict. Under anarchy, justice and law are irrelevant Might = right. World politics is about power
7 Realism III Realists argue that world politics is about power States balance against the powerful (defensive) Or with the powerful (offensive realism) Depending on one s perspective, stability (not peace, but a check-mate of opposing interests) is achieved by external or internal balancing. Famous realists: Machiavelli, Carr, Morgenthau, Waltz (Betts, Jervis, Mearsheimer, Schweller)
8 Liberalism Where realists are pessimists (the glass is half empty), liberals are optimists (glass half full) Liberalist assumptions: Multiple actors in world politics Actors are egoistic Preferences: states want Security and Wealth
9 Liberalism II Liberals see (or see the potential for) hierarchy between states and other actors internationally Justice and law are imperfect, but relevant Might = right. But states must also cooperate Anarchy can be self-organizing Treaties/norms are self-enforcing (network) Agreements result from mutual self-interest
10 Liberalism III Liberalist see world politics as about prosperity States cooperate to obtain mutual benefits Or to produce collective goods Peace typically results from live-and-let-live Complementary mutual self-interest is the norm Famous liberalists: Kant, Wilson, Carnegie (Keohane, Nye, Russett, Moravcsik)
11 Constructivism Constructivists are usually very optimistic (Wendt: Why world government is inevitable ) Constructivist assumptions: Multiple actors in world politics Actors are social Preferences: states want what the community wants (can evolve over time) Wendt: Hobbesian, Lockean, Kantian
12 Constructivism II Hierarchy evolves naturally from the interaction of states/units Justice and law have independent effect Might not right. States ought to cooperate Anarchy can be self-organizing Treaties/norms are self-reenforcing (network) Agreements result from social will
13 Constructivism III Constructivist sees world politics as about society States cooperate if other states cooperate / not Peace requires social norm (fragile?) Social-interest drives behavior (coop/~coop) Famous Constructivists: (Wendt, Lebow, Katzenstein)
