| 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 |
