National Power and International Relations - Samson Esudu - Bog

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - General and Theories of International Politics, grade: A, ( Atlantic International University ) (School of Business and Economics), course: Master of International Relations, language: English, abstract: This essay seeks to cover details as to why national powers are the determinant of International relations. I will give an understanding of national power and discuss it in terms of international relations which may have some complication since many aspects have to be considered. This therefore will be elaborated on how power has changed throughout the years and defend my argument as to why national powers are the primary factors in international relations.

I will therefore highlight ways on how power can be obtained and managed using different governing systems. Hence compare and contrast previous power systems and democratic power systems. I will then highlight factors that affect national systems in the 21st century and alternative solutions for the highlighted factors hence summarise with a conclusion in what national power may mean to the current generation.
