Leading academics disagree over the role of the US in international affairs and international relations in general. On one side are those who emphasize realism such as the autonomous actions of sovereign states, the pursuit of national interests and the anarchy of international relations. On the other side of the spectrum are those who advocate liberal ideas, including the need for states to engage in international cooperation, the importance of international economic exchanges and the decline of the nation-state. Other scholars have combined realism and liberalism in international relations.
GET REAL For a president who came into office literally selling the Audacity of Hope - not just for Americans but for all mankind - his Iran policy can so far be summed up as the timidity of 'realism.' That's realism as a theory of international relations that prescribes a foreign policy based on ostensibly rational calculations of the national interest and assumes that other nations act in similarly rational fashion," Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens writes.

Kenneth Waltz, in Theory of International Politics, insisted that the formation of balances of power is something of an iron law of international relations, perhaps the only one. A straightforward reading of realism therefore suggests that the present unipolar moment is an aberration and must, sooner or later, give way to a renewal of balance of power politics. Unipolarity has been a frequent occurrence throughout history, and periods without balances of power are as common as balanced systems. Similarly in certain areas, allies and partners of the US are rivals with considerable blocking power: the European Union in international trade, and Russia in energy politics are just a few examples.
