Document Summary
A paradigm based on the premise that world politics is essentially and unchangeably a struggle among self-interested states for power and position under anarchy, with each competing state pursuing its own national interests. The theoretical postulate that states" foreign policies are determined by their location, natural resources and physical environment. Institutions created and joined by states" governments, which give them authority to make collective decisions to manage particular problems on the global agenda. A condition in which the units in the global system are subjected to few, if any, overarching institutions to regulate their conduct. A set core of philosophical principles that leaders and citizens collectively construct about politics, the interests of political actors and the ways people aught to behave. The unilateral policies of the george w. bush administration proclaiming that the united states will make decisions to meet america"s perceived national interests, not to concede to other countries" complaints or to gain their acceptance.
