Which of the following is true about the assumptions of liberal theory as explained by Moravcsik?
The fundamental actors are companies that act rationally and are prone to collective action for their interests. |
An important source of social interests is nationalism. |
States represent some domestic groups whose interests shape state preferences. |
The independent individual preferences shape state behavior. |
Groups’ demands may be towards conflict or cooperation. |
- The fundamental actors are individuals who act rationally and are prone to collective action for their interests. Their demands may be towards conflict or cooperation under different social conditions such as divergent beliefs, scarcity of materials and inequality in political power. This means that there is no automatic harmony of interests. An important source of social interests is globalization that offers transnational economic, social and cultural opportunities (2013, 711).
- States represent some domestic groups, whose interests shape state preferences. The nature of the state institutions and the societal demands shape the foreign policy.
- The interdependent state preferences shape state behavior, so the costs and benefits to foreign societies when dominant social groups want to realize their preferences are taken into consideration. Thus cooperation (its form, substance and depth) depends on patterns of these preferences and their influences on dominant groups in other states instead of realist priority on configuration of power.
