Which below is not an assumption of the realist theory?


States are the central and most important actors of world politics.

State is a unitary actor.

States are, in essence, rational actors.

National and international security are the most important issues for states. 

Security of state are often referred to as “low politics” whereas socio-economic topics remain in the field of “high politics”


Yanıt Açıklaması:

Fourth and the last main realist assumption puts emphasis on hierarchy of issues according to which the ones related to national and international security are located at the top. “Military and related political issues dominate world politics.” (Viotti and Kauppi, 2012: 40). In that logic, military, strategic issues that concerns security of state are often referred to as “high politics” whereas socio-economic topics remains in the field of “low politics”. In that context, the hierarchy mentioned here schematize the realist vision of political issues regarding their importance and primacy over one another.
