Which one of the following is not a component of the Realist Theory?

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

Realist theory is built on the core assumption that the international system is anarchic, meaning there is no overarching central authority to enforce rules or protect states. Consequently, states are the preeminent actors in global politics. A primary objective for all states is survival, which they must ensure through self-help, power accumulation, and security maximization rather than relying on others. Realism emphasizes state sovereignty as the basis for juridical authority over territory. Unlike Liberalism, which advocates for cooperation through international organizations, Realism is skeptical of such institutions. Realists argue that because the system is competitive and conflictual, states cannot entrust their survival to international organizations, as these lack the power to override state interests or provide guaranteed security in an anarchic world.
