Realism in International Relations

27.11.2023

Realists believe that human nature is inherently flawed (a legacy of Hobbes’ anthropological pessimism, and even deeper, echoes of Christian notions of the fall from grace — lapsus in Latin) and cannot be fundamentally corrected. Therefore, egoism, predation, and violence are ineradicable. From this, it is concluded that only a strong state can restrain and organise humans (who, according to Hobbes, are wolves to each other). The state is inevitable and carries the highest sovereignty. Moreover, the state projects the predatory and selfish nature of humans, hence a national state has its interests which are its only considerations.

The country's foreign policy is undergoing changes related to both the international situation and the increase in its capabilities.

This concept is of considerable interest, as it logically continues a series of strategies (on foreign policy and national security) adopted recently.
