| | Theory-name | Structural Realism -neorealism |
| | Theory-Purpose | Theory separate from Waltz version? Called by Keohane "Explanation through an |
| | examination on the structure of International system" |
| | Note | Structural Constraints explain why methods are repeatedly used despite differences |
| | in states which use them. |
| | - has been called by some as "technical; realism" |
| | Definition-power | . |
| | Measure-success | Structural T gain plausibility if similarities of behavior are observed across realms that |
| | are different in substance but similar in structure, and differences in behavior are |
| | observed where realms are similar in substance but different in structure |
| | Motivation-Actors | Depends on mesh of actors an their behavior?? |

| | Limitation | - Does not account for variations in States non-rational behavior. Supports status quo |
| | as main assumption. View of power resources implied by overall structure theory is |
| | over aggregated, exaggerating extent power is like money. Need more |
| | multidimensional approach. NAIC Keohane p.191 |
| | - Need mote attention to internal - external interactions. Does not take note of different |
| | structural development in different historical periods., weather states came early or |
| | late in development process within system. More emphasis need for non state actors |
| | NAIC Keohane, p.193 |
| | - Need to qualify severely "states seek Power" since not most important in all cases. |
| | Has to take note of rise of international rules and procedures and obedience to them |
| | by states. Note international structure effects self-interest. What is rational for states |
| | depends on institutional context of states and underlying power realities. Need to take |
| | note of Complex interdependence - when it is difficult to use conventional power for |
