Realism, Neoliberalism, and Cooperation: Understanding the Debate

| Summer 1999

The author offers a reformulation of the debate between realism and neoliberalism over the role of conflict and cooperation in international politics. He argues that the disagreement between realists and neoliberals is not about the extent of conflict, but rather whether conflict is unnecessary given states' quest for security.
