LOBO-FERNANDES, Luís. A nomothetic theory of international politics or the construction of the true in Waltz: some considerations. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2013, n.39, pp.15-24. ISSN 1645-9199.
Kenneth N. Waltz’s magnum opus, Theory of International Politics, first published in 1979, is the single most widely read contribution to neorealism. Waltz claimed the establishment of a nomothetic theory of international politics that deals in regularities and repetitions, arguing that the structural component of the international system greatly influences state behaviour and hence outcomes. The author proposes a macrotheoretical solution to the micro account of traditional realism that focuses on unit- and individual-level explanations.
