Contemporary Challenges of the Realism Theory of International Relations

Đana Luša ; Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The author analyzes the contemporary challenges of the realistic theory of international relations, which was established as a constant in interpreting events in the international community through its development and adjustment to historic shifts, representing a complex "instrument" of summarizing the past, interpreting and framing the present and outlining future trends, In that, it starts with a definition of the paradigm concept, its realistic and idealistic manifestation, an analysis of the development of classical and contemporary realism, and finally, a case study about the application of the realistic
theory on the processes in the post-cold war international community.
