Overview
You will engage with the case study for your theory, read around the subject closely, and prepare answers to the three formative assessment questions.
- To what extent can offensive and defensive realism explain Israel’s actions? Which is the more persuasive?
- What factors are missed by the realist account and do these reveal any limitations (or strengths) of realist theory?
- To what extent are the actions of Israel’s adversaries adequately explained by realism?
