Prepare: Read the Introduction and Chapter 1 of the
course text. Reflect: Perspectives have been described as a statement or a hypothesis that explains the
primary cause of what is happeningfor example a struggle for power causes conflict and sometimes war (Nau, 2015, p.
3). Our ability to describe, explain, and predict international relations (IR) are valuable skills that enable political
scientists to influence and affect international politics and global leaders. One of the most important tools that
international relations experts routinely utilize are theoretical perspectives. Specifically, most IR specialists are experts
at using realism, liberalism, and identity perspectives to describe, explain, and predict international relations.
Consequently, students of IR must master these perspectives and the intricacies of their major principles and tenets.
Write: In your initial post of at least 200 words, complete the following: Describe one strength of each of the
realist, liberal, and identity perspectives. Describe one weaknesses of each of the realist, liberal, and identity
perspectives. Assess which perspective(s) provides a more comprehensive and accurate explanation of world events.
Respond to Peers: By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates' initial posts. Your peer responses must
be at least 75 words each. As you reply to your classmates, attempt to take the conversation further by examining their
claims or arguments in more depth, or responding to the posts that they make to you. Keep the discussion on target and
try to analyze things in as much detail as you can. For instance, you might evaluate a classmate?s assessment of
perspective strengths and weaknesses compared to your own assessments. Carefully review the Discussion
Forum Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate this Discussion Thread.
