History is marked by instances of both cooperation and conflict among states in the international sphere. Realism, liberalism, and constructivism are three prominent paradigms scholars leverage to identify and explain the factors that lead to either cooperation or conflict. These paradigms vary in a number of ways, which often leads to different understandings of international politics and expectations concerning international outcomes. Students selecting this topic should choose TWO of the paradigms and address the following questions: 1)  What assumptions set the foundations for the theories?  2)  How do the theories understand states and their interests? 3)  What outcomes do the theories anticipate? 4)  Which theory, in the student’s opinion, is best able to explain international politics? 5)  Are there real-world examples that support one theory over another?
