“…I, therefore, utilise the balance of power in terms of viewing it as a state of affairs which necessarily influences state behaviour. I draw from Wohlforth's (1994) observation that realists view state behaviour as an 'adaption to external constraints conditioned by changes in relative power ' (p. 96 …”

“…Yet this has not happened, even when international factors set the conditions for conflict (such as the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in 1991, or the Hainan Island spy plane incident in 2001). This highlights that all too often, domestic and international factors have been considered as an “either–or” issue, and the theoretical and empirical link between both has not been established: “Any realist discussion of international change must combine the domestic and international levels” (Wohlforth /95:107).…”

This article anchors neoclassical realism (NCR) as a solid theoretical framework which departs from Wendtian constructivism, Moravcsik's liberal theory, and Putnam's two‐level game liberalism. NCR moves away from these other approaches by bridging three divides: the spatial (domestic–international), the cognitive (matter‐ideas), and the temporal (present–future). What matters is not what states have to do because the structure compels them so (as Waltz and Wendt would want us to believe). Looking at what domestic interest groups want states to do (as Moravcsik and Putnam suggest) is also unsatisfactory. Rather, what can states do to represent domestic economic interests within the predefined geopolitical context? The argument here is that a version of geopolitical structure is external to the state and binds. However, a perceptual layer at the level of state policymaker affects the operationalization of that structure. Domestic economic forces make themselves felt through state‐level policymakers, but only within the predefined context of binding structural factors that constrain. The findings from this study are vastly different from previous studies, suggesting that NCR's triple bridging identity distinguishes it from other IR theories.
