International relations are not shaped by some immutable
laws of nature
They can be changed
International relations are determined:
by social practices
by ideas
by interactions between countries
RADICAL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3i6KmoHQgY
--The most important factors of international relations are
class interests
--Struggle for power between states is rooted in the class
interests dominant in each state
--The existing international order is defined by global
capitalism
--Capitalism fosters inequality, exploitation, conflicts
--International conflicts and wars will be less likely if
societies are radically transformed on the basis of
democracy, equality and social justice (some or other form
of socialism)
