The Scope and Domain of Neoclassical Realism
The Scope and Domain of Neoclassical Realism
The Dependent Variables
Chapter 4 presents the range of the dependent variables that neoclassical realism can explain, growing over time from crisis decision-making, foreign policy responses, and grand strategic adjustment in the short- to medium-term to international outcomes in the medium- to longer- term and structural change in the long term. During this time, historical events can make counties collapse while other countries rise to power. It then delimits the scope of neoclassical realist theory by discussing what cannot be explained by the approach. Finally, it presents our first cut at linking the different intervening variables to specific dependent variables to assist in neoclassical realist theory building.
