The Syrian Civil War: Realism V. Liberalism

Today we take the realist and liberalist frameworks we described last week and apply them to a current real world issue. THATS RIGHT PEOPLE: THEORY IS RELEVANT!

Are you a Liberal or a Realist?

I feel my answer is redundant, but don't agree with me; I've been wrong before...

Nice video and interesting points.
Maybe consider wearing different colored shirts when you talk about liberalism and realism (and/or face different directions) so it looks like a debate between two people? So for example wearing blue for liberalism and red for realism.
It would also make it easier for viewers to keep track of which ideology you are talking about at the moment.

[montasiramr]

[sachabouma]

Help me out: what about constructivism and humanitarian intervention?

[sarahendrix]

The realist view is much more logical because in the International platform we have it's not moralistic so liberalism aims in the wrong direction in my opinion. Thank you for your videos they're very helpful!

[bienouanrasy]

Please make more! I need it for my degree!

In your very own opinion, do you think the realist approach is relevant for understanding contemporary global politics? I'm adding the word global, as Waltz said that the realist approach could be applied only to certain international systems and that applies mostly to countries where it has risen - Europe, America.

And if it still is relevant, could you give me a specific example?...besides USA, Russia, Iran or China.

Sir ..i have a question..Liberalism gives co-operation as a end result or solution, but realist believe that power maximization what is the end result of realist? I wanna know solution of realist??

Syria is not going through a civil war, because its not about conflict of different religions (Muslims vs Christians or ethnic cleansing or difference in religious sects like Sunnis vs Shiites) but other than that very valuable information right there.
