Classical realism (international relations)
Classical Realism
is a
theory of International Relations
established in the post-World War II era that seeks to explain international politics as a result of
human nature
. The theory is associated with thinkers such as
Niccolò Machiavelli
and
Thomas Hobbes
. Modern thinkers associated with classical realism are
Carl von Clausewitz
,
Hans Morgenthau
and
Reinhold Niebuhr
. Classical Realist thought has since been overshadowed by
Neorealism
after
Kenneth Waltz
' work became more widely accepted due to the rise of Structuralism in
North American
International Relations scholarship which favored the latter's emphasis on
rationality
rather than human nature as cause for political conflict.
