In the study of International Relations, a label either for
views or policies which pay more respect to what is achievable in practice than what might be ideal – first strong in the work of Machiavelli and influenced by a low view of human nature;
the doctrine that the focus of the subject should be the interplay of states, in which case ‘Realism’ is usually written thus, i.e. with a capital letter; or
the position of those scholars who believe, generally in conjunction with the preceding sense, that states aim primarily at dominance over other states, in this event the label also being normally employed with a capital letter. See also idealism; power politics; Realpolitik. |
