International Relations Theory: Realism

In this course, you will get in-depth knowledge and understanding of key realist thinkers, theories and concepts, including real world examples and even tips for writing essays and dissertations. The course will give you confidence to think and speak about world problems through the lens of the oldest, most powerful and influential theory of International Relations. If you are interested in world politics, chances are you are reading and watching quite a bit of news about what’s going on. That’s OK, but there is nothing more rewarding that actually educating yourself to improve the depth and breadth of your knowledge and understanding of how the world works. My courses are designed to help you with that objective and this course offers you complete knowledge and understanding of the most exciting theory of International Relations. Consider some of these timeless quotes from the most influential classical thinkers: the right, as the world goes, is only in question between equal power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must – ThucydidesBut since it is difficult for a ruler to be both feared and loved, it is much safer to be feared than loved (.).” – Machiavelli”Because men are wretched creatures who would not keep their word to you, you need not keep your word to them” – MachiavelliIn such condition [state of nature], the life of man [is] solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short – Hobbes”Political realism believes that politics, like society in general, is governed by objective laws that have their roots in human nature.” – MorgenthauThis is just a sample of quotes we explore in the course in depth to understand their meaning, context and impact on the realist theory. How You Will LearnIt is my philosophy in this course to allow those brilliant thinkers speak for themselves. Iwant to give them the voice. At the same time, Ioffer you my full explanation and interpretation of every quote we analyse in the course. Idon’t just leave you there wondering what this all means. In addition to classical realism, neorealism and offensive realism, my bonus lectures also gives you insights into neoclassical realism. This is an interesting and exciting development in the realist theory and Iwant you to understand what it is all about. Another one of my bonus lectures offers you practical tips for incorporating realism into writing your academic essays and dissertations. As much as talking about theories is interesting in itself, Ialso believe in the value of practical examples. So in this course, we discuss three case studies of how realism can be applied to analyse real world problems. These include: the realist perspective on coronavirus, USforeign policy and the rise of China.
