Neo-Neo Debate

After learning where both theories come closer, and where they differ, I came to see the reaction between Neo-liberalism versus Neo-realism and the study of international relations. Since international relations was founded as an academic discipline, it has been dominated by Realist approach. Since this debate covers the central place in this field, we can conclude that it gives the most influential knowledge for theorizing about the world in general. The debate can be regarded as strongly contributing not only to the academic international relations, but also to the foreign policy making of the leading countries in international politics. The differences between these two kinds of thinking can be found in their field of study, because they are said to study different worlds. On one side Neo-realism is concerned with studying security issues, and the other, Neo-liberalism, studies political economy and focuses on questions like cooperation, institutions, and environment.
