The theories of realism, interdependence and world capitalist system each propose to explain the primary structures of international relations. However, each theory differs significantly in their basic philosophical assumptions and in the manner by which they conceptualize the basic nature of the world order and the primary role of the nation state.
Your essay should first explain, compare and analyze the basic philosophical assumptions of realist, interdependence and world capitalist system theories. Also, be sure to explain how each of the three theories describe the basic nature of world order and the principle role and function of the nation state within that order. Your answer should directly address these issues. Be sure to analyze both the strengths and weaknesses of each of the theories on these issues. Give empirical examples that you believe demonstrate support or weaknesses of each theory.
