Thought of the Week:
 
"Scholars have provided numerous, often incompatible, answers to the following questions: Do states maximize power or security? And do they balance or bandwagon? There are two reasons for these differences. First, neorealist theory posits that structural incentives are constant. Second, neorealist scholars have conceptualized balancing as a behavior rather than as an outcome. Together, these problems have impaired neorealists' ability to further develop structural theory."
