SECTION 1
1.a) realists thoughts until great debate
The realist thoughts begun with Thucydides (5th century BC) and his work History of Peloponessian war.
He wanted to find out the real reason for this war. Gods do not decide about politics does, power is the thing which matters. Athens was too strong and Sparta was afraid. He also mentioned balance of power - war as a matter of power and racionality, origins of P.war - balance of power among Sparta and Athens (preventive attack by Athens)
Pesimistic view of on human nature
Next, Machiavelli (16th Century) distinguished politics from morality and religion. He focuses on state as a basic actor in international relations, which is trying to survive and get power. Question of national interest. He puts as opposites ethic among people and ethic among states.
The Prince - advices for a sucesfull ruler, how to keep and gain power (main task of a ruler), main point of politics is security state, criterion for policy - success in securing state, the ruler will have to weak their rules (ethnical rules) in case it is in state interests
Third, Hobbes (17th Century) was interested in nature of state. If there was no government, chaos would rule the world. Realists use this thought for international relations where there is no central government to rule the relations, so there is chaos too. It could result in constant war because human are bad and selfish (no law human could rely only on themselves)
Solution is in state of Leviathan - creates law, state is good for everyone, human lose liberty but gain security! X IR no Leviathan, there are state of nature, Hobbes says human state of nature exists only theoretically X IR
