Document Summary
It is still liberalism but there is just an emphasize on state legitimacy. State is key and everything else is subordinate to the state. Although anarchy matters, cooperation is still possible between actors. Absolute gains: asking the question, am i better off than i was before. Realist perspective : they care about relative gains because they care about relative power. Realist questions: they care about who has gained more. Absolute is important in idealism and realism. State cannot be a unitary actor because non state actors matter. The way the policies are created is through competition. From a realism point of you, you only need to ask what the decision was. How you get to the decision is irrelevant. Liberal: you can"t separate the process from the result. Decision making is subjective and not objective. Imf using loans with conditions as a away pf promoting international capitalism and previous decision matter. Decision making process changes in stressful situations.
