Emphasis on cooperation among actors and states. Global economy is shaped by competition between states. Staes do what is necessary to maximize their profit and security. Focus on the role of hegemonic power. Concerned primarily with the system of ipe. Focus on the struggle between capitalists who own the means of production and those who are oppressed as a means of generating ;surplus value" or profit in the system . Criticism: looks at class but not gender. The power structures and relationships within ipe are inherently gendered. For example, globally labour is often gendered, where women preform much of the low wage care work. Constructivists argue that classical approaches to ipe are insufficient.
