Discussion Post: International Relations
In this first part of our discussion board, each of you is going to choose a theory that is discussed in chapter three of the book. It can be realism, liberalism, radicalism, or constructivism (the reason I've not included feminism is that it's more of a critique of the other theories rather than a standalone theory of its own). You can choose whichever one you want.
You shouldn't need anything other than the book and the videos in Module 2 to do this assignment, but you can also use other internet sources if you would like, so long as they are reputable. Ideally, please post your response below rather than uploading it as a word document/PDF, since that's harder for your classmates to read. I would like you to compose a 300 to 500 word post that summarizes the following about your theory:
• What are the basics of your theory? What does your theory think are the most important things to pay attention to in international relations? What is the role of the state in your theory?
• What do you find compelling about your theory? What makes it believable?
• What do you find unbelievable or unrealistic about your theory?
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
