How can the field of International Relations be defined?
It seeks to understand, how the people and countries of the world get along
Important for most definitions: states are crucial but not only actors and inter-relationship between states
What are Actors, according to FLS and what determines their political actions?
Actors are basic units of IR analysis
Political actions determined by their interests
Levels of analysis
1. Image: Man/ Woman
2. Image State
3. Image: System (war)
What are Interests, according to FLS and what categories can they be divided in?
- Interests are preferences over outcomes, that could result from political action.
Categories:
1. Power/ Security (stressed mostly by Realism)
2. Economic or material welfare (stressed mostly by Liberalism)
3. Ideological goal (stressed mostly by Constructivism and Idealism)
What determines, who wins or loses in bargaining?
What are International Relations' subfields?
- Conflict processes
- Foreign policy analysis
- International political economy
- Regional integration/ international organisation/ law
What are Institutions and who benefits from them?
Institutions are sets of rules, known and shared by the community, that structure political interactions in specific ways.
Institutions are the results of a set of cooperations and bargaining processes --> winners of these processes set the rules
How do institutions affect and facilitate cooperation?
What two categories can interactions be divided in?
1. Cooperation
= two or more actors adopt a policy, that benefits at least one of them, while not making others worse off, compared to the Status Quo
2. Bargaining
= actors must choose between outcomes, that could make one of them better off than the other
What determines, whether actors cooperate?
What two categories of cooperation are there?
1. Coordination
= Interaction, where all actors benefit from making the same choices (Rechtsfahrgebot); there is no incentive to not comply
2. Collaboration
= Actors gain from cooperation, but still have a unilateral interest incentive to defect (Prisoners Dilemma)
What are (strategic) Interactions, according to FLS and what are the assumptions regarding them?
- Interactions are ways, in which choices of two or more actors combine to produce political outcomes
- Strategic interaction is a sort of interaction, in which one actor's strategy is determined by their anticipation of the other actors strategy
Assumptions:
1. Actors behave rational
2. Actors take assumed action of other actors into account
