There are individual states that have varying degrees of power and sovereignty in their own land, but clearly there is no single state that makes laws for the whole world. Anarchy, for theories that deal with international relations, refers to the world as a whole having no government. International Relations employs three theories that political scientists use to explain and predict how world politics plays out.To define the theories of Realism, Liberalism, and Constructivism we will explore how each theory views anarchy, power, state interests, and the cause of war.Īll theories agree that the world is in anarchy and because of this it is helpful to start with a definition of anarchy and what it implies.
