Lets see shall we? - My lecture notes!

Traditional IR Theories

Traditional IR Theories—in this case Neorealism and Neoliberal-Institutionalism—have enjoyed its fair share of spotlight until about the mid- to late-1980s. These theories are predominantly US in origin, and they are still prominent in the American literature.

Neorealism

This is a very simple-to-use theory, in which the actors are pre-defined (states), and what they do are also prescribed (maximise power). Filtering Neorealism into four (4) principles should put it into perspective:

1. International System is Anarchic
2. States are the only actors in the International System
3. States are unitary actors
4. States are rational actors

International system as being anarchic does not mean that it is chaotic—though Neorealists will say that since there is no world government/police, there is nothing to prevent wars from occurring. But as you can see, ultimately, Neorealism takes a rather pessimistic view to international order. If there is co-operation, it is simply a matter of double coincidence of wants.

Neoliberal Institutionalism

This theory was originally interested in introducing non- and sub-state actors into IR, namely MNCs and International Organisations (IOs), such as the UN and EU. However, by the early-1980s, some Neoliberalists, in particular Robert Keohane, started to re-focusing on states as major actors in the international system.

In any case, Neoliberals are more comfortable in analysing international co-operation: they consider IOs to play the role of a “market place” for national interests, explaining that international co-operation is more resilient than a Neorealist version.

With respect to Neorealist principles, Neoliberals will suggest that:

1. International Systerm is Anarchic (Agree)
2. States are not the only actors—there are others such as MNCs and IOs (Disagree)
3. States are unitary actors, but so are other non-state actors (Agree in principle)
4. States, as well as other actors, are rational (More or less agree)

So the differences are not as significant.

The IR Debates

While Neorealists and Neoliberals disagree on how resilient international co-operation is, to the extent that they are both Rational-Choice Theories, they consider actors to be rational, and expect to be able to “quantify” things such as “national interests” and “power”. Again, for this reason, they are easy to use, but they are not equipped to tackle issues such as “identity”, as well as the complexities of the international system, such as normative elements which are very much part of social life—even in the international arena. This is not necessarily a failure of Rational-Choice theories, per se; but it shows that we need other theoretical tools to investigate aspects of international politics that cannot be explained through Neorealism and/or Neoliberal-Institutionalism.

Sometimes, the debate between the traditional and the so-called post-positivist theories of IR become fierce, with traditional IR theorists criticising critical theorists of lacking scientific endeavour, whereas critical theorists accuse traditional theorists of being overly simplistic, and inextricably tied-up with the policy-making establishment, mainly the American policy.
