Q1. The correct answer is b) kill or perish. According to J. Herz, the security dilemma refers to the situation where states feel threatened by each other and take measures to ensure their security, but these measures increase the insecurity of other states, leading to a cycle of actions and counteractions that can result in conflict or even war.<br /><br />Q2. The correct answer is a) because international system is anarchical. Morgenthau's realist understanding is pessimistic about the nature of international politics because he believes that the international system is anarchical, meaning there is no central authority to enforce rules or norms. This leads to a constant struggle for power and security among states.<br /><br />Q3. The correct answer is b) Balance of power, collective security. Woodrow Wilson rejected the idea of balance of power as a security-providing concept and instead embraced the idea of collective security. Collective security is the principle that an act of aggression against one state is considered an act against all states, and all states should act together to prevent or respond to such aggression.<br /><br />Q4. The correct answer is d) all. According to Hans Morgenthau, actors interacting in the international environment are states, they are rational, and they are power-maximizers. Morgenthau's theory of political realism emphasizes the role of power and the pursuit of power as the primary driving force behind international politics.<br /><br />Q5. The correct answer is a) because actors are power maximizers. According to Kenneth Waltz, balance of power is almost a mechanical outcome of the system because actors are power maximizers. In other words, states constantly seek to increase their power relative to other states, leading to a balance of power as each state tries to prevent any one state from becoming too dominant.<br /><br />Q6. The correct answer is b) There is no difference between K. Waltz and S. Walt, both figures are representative of Defensive Realism. This statement is false because Kenneth Waltz and Stephen Walt are both prominent realist theorists, but they represent different strands of realism. Waltz is associated with structural realism or neorealism, while Walt is associated with defensive realism.<br /><br />Q7. The correct answer is c) Actors try to get excessive power in order to maximize their security. According to Waltzian realism, actors are states, they are rational-like units, and they are differentiated according to the distribution of power. However, the statement that actors try to get excessive power in order to maximize their security is false, as Waltzian realism emphasizes the importance of balance of power and the prevention of any one state becoming too dominant.<br /><br />Q8. The correct answer is d) balancing. Under Waltzian realism, actors engage in balancing. Balancing refers to the actions taken by states to prevent any one state from becoming too powerful or dominant in the international system. States may form alliances, increase their military capabilities, or pursue other strategies to maintain a balance of power.
