{'realist theory': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'state sovereignty': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'primary objective': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'juridical authority': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'preeminent actor': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'territory': [3, 0, 2, 9], 'international organizations': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'component': [1, 1, 1, 7]}

The Realist Theory is a perspective in international relations that focuses on the importance of power and the self-interest of states. It views the state as the central actor in global politics.

Option 1 states that "The State is the preeminent actor." This means that the state is considered the most important and influential player in international relations according to Realist Theory. This aligns with the principles of the theory.

Option 2 states that "State sovereignty is important for the affirmation of juridical authority over territory." Realist Theory emphasizes the significance of state sovereignty as it implies independent decision-making and control over its territory. This aligns with the principles of the theory.

Option 3 states that "The primary objective of all States is survival." Realist Theory argues that states prioritize their own survival and security over other considerations. This aligns with the principles of the theory.

Option 4 states that "Survival can be assured in cooperation with international organizations." This statement contradicts Realist Theory, as it suggests that states can secure their survival through cooperation with international organizations. In contrast, Realist Theory emphasizes self-help and individual state actions rather than relying on collective entities. Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer as it is not a component of Realist Theory
