I like how everyone here are probably poli sci students studying for their exams, and here I am casually watching this to understand the theory. good luck folks
Good luck yourself in understanding. Note: there is not actual understanding of lies and bullshit, you can only be tricked, or trick yourself into believing a lie is the solution, you can only actually and truly understand the truth.
I would like to say that I have been watching your videos since I started my masters and still I come and peek on it because of the way you teach! You are fantastic :-) Please make more videos
as a anarchist i just want to make this clear to my fellow anarchists: the man in the video mentioned himself he is not talking about us, he is talking about something else with a similar name
An Anarchy does not mean that there are no rules and laws. There can be no Central figure nor police force and there can still be laws. The only way this is possible is by having a standard for everyone for example the universalization theory of morality by kantianism or some other form of principles in ethics.
I disagree with allensens/the video. It isn't anarchy... Larger governments, such as the USA, function, or attempt to function, as the 'international police' or 'centralized body of the monopoly on violence'. That's why, or in part why, you get an arms race. The lack of trust in the face hierarchy is just that, hierarchy, not anarchy.
Really thankful to this video explanation. I realize that I am fit with this type of explanation more than other. It really clear. Looking forward more videos on IR.
The problem is not the anarchism that exists between states, but the lack of anarchism between the state and the people they rule. There's no harmony or consistency in principles, and that creates chaos. Without government in each area, there would be no large threat anywhere, no borders to define "us" and "them", no power to fear losing. You've described territorial gang warfare, and the answer is to dissolve the gangs.
this explanation is the best one. i was so stressed by the other video explanation but this video take away my stress through its simple and clear explanation. why don't you do more explanation or IR.?
But the concept of anarchy challenges the very existence of international institutions like UN, IMF, ICJ. Are these institutions relevant? or these institutions in international politics are only given the ornamental post or authority?
Some theorist state that INternational Institutions are only a tool for the most powerful states to forward their agendas. Institutiosn are not independent of powerful states they have as their members. An example of this is NATO. The UN-Security Council is another good example and why it's so difficult to have a resolution that is not vetoed.
I think a more realistic theory is that over time a people accepted anarchy however didn't murder or rob just because there wasn't cops. They dealed with the people they didn't accept themselves.
If I would have been C, I would have tried to cooperate with A and B using my extra resources not spent on military in order to enforce some kind of economic interdependence where A and B would have much more to loose than to gain by attacking me. If A or B were to attack me I could then convince the other that their economic interest are under threat.
And if everyone had applied your sensible thinking from the beginning, there never would have been an A B and C group at odds to begin with. That is the truth of Anarchy it comes about via and understanding and prioritization of moral uprightness.
@@rainbowsieben yeah. like, we keep trying to fit square pegs in round holes because our interpersonal relationships are gridlocked by district or area instead of by values. we shouldn't be handed projects by the rulership and assigned to work together by demographic with some stupid, lazy rich kids in charge. that's a recipe for endless fights and unfairness and 80/20 nonsense. we should be getting together with others who are on our respective level and building/creating from there. the rulers have definitely made this very tough to try for on purpose. :/ at least the internet is changing that and helping to make it possible for us to find those who already share our values.
Why not discussing positivism and various theories of international relation ? I wanna see more videos to have insight; can someone recommend any channel?
As per the examples, State A is already largest and can see others are not developing military and yet goes on to start the arms race. ALso nice definition there of the 'Anarchy'.
He didn't say State A is the largest. A, B, C are "very powerful states" in the example. They probably have equal power but then we'll have to define power, measure it etc which is up for debate.
So called realists seem to get the 'real' definition of anarchy wrong. Anarchy is absence of state and military right at the grass root level. It means the community is built on the foundations of mutual trust and aid, not out of fear of being shot or invaded by. The basic assumption of considering countries behaving with each other in an anarchic way cannot be justified. The participants of anarchy are themselves hierarchic in thought and action, how will they make a bigger group as anarchy? All of them have 'Rulers' who will try their best to 'rule' the world if they can. So the global colony in my opinion can be better explained to have a hidden hierarchy, because at the grassroot level there is always a rat race to the top. At global level there is simple islands of hierarchy, Bigger states, more power, colonial rule advantage etc etc....
No theres different kinds of anarchy you guys are looking at the chaotic side of it dont think because they make it look bad on tv or because ignorant groups make it there symbol doesnt mean thats its whole meaning everybody will train each other on weapons for self defense and for enforcements
I've just noticed that this is a vid about "global politics". This isn't a particularly useful description of anarchism as defined as the absence of the state.
Now through in capitalism, where rich countries get richer exponentially faster than poor countries and the whole balance of power inevitable falls apart in the long run.
This video was really deep. I have a question? First, I believe international anarchy can't be good for the stated reasons in the video. We have nuclear weapons now. Weapons 100 years or even 1000 years from now will make nukes look like bows an arrows. So, I would like to know how international anarchy can be civilized or reduced? The only possible solution is world policing thru oppression. And, of course the abandonment of national armies in favor of a single world army or police force. But, this is essentially an empire. And empires never survive because of the tyranny they wield to establish a single culture. So, having a world empire feeds on itself by needing world oppression. Any ideas on ending international anarchy? The EU reduced European anarchy, but for how long? I can point out that the United States ended anarchy in the early days inside it's borders thru the oppression and creation of a single culture. But, anarchy seems to be returning to this land now. This is just my 2 cents. It seems to me that anarchy is only going to become worse in the world. I would like to see some evidence to the contrary.
Exactly what you're describing has exasterbated in Europe over the past year. Italy is voting to stop immigration, and talk of a soft Brexit is causing an uproar. The election of Trump was not a coincidence. Civil unrest is reaching a climax. We are in a weird predicament in the modern age. The states themselves have their hands tied, but the people grow more and more spiteful. It may be the first time in history that the people within the countries worldwide rip themselves apart before the state itself gets to even act. One may question as to whether or not this is the desired effect of these states, as they have artificially invited different ethinic groups into their borders and forcefully rushed them in without assimilating them. Their agenda on the outside is to create a single culture a you've said, but this is the worst way to do it. We live in very interesting times. The call to power is stronger than ever.
Well, sort of... it's a decentralized international legal order and there are international organizations that have been designed to deal with the lack of a centralized authority. But I see where these "anarchist realists" are going with this.
All the members of the UN security council have the veto ability, which basically let's them veto any proposition that would not be beneficial for them --> no real administration above them. Also, for ICC, the criminal court mostly deals with individuals and especially those from less powerful states. It cannot for example realistically decide to persecute the President of France or the US. Also, it's nature of focusing on individuals shows how it isn't really plausible for the ICC to act as a global police force above states. In fact, the ICC and it's effectiveness can be argued to be quite weak, and mostly focused on the media attention it gets.
i think hes explaining a doing of a state/government..... not the real anarchism..... building a military might must have rules and fundings... meaning... to tax their own people...
To say there is no Central Authority just because there are several States... Well that that's incorrect having several States means there are several Central authorities. In Anarchy, the individual is sovereign. Anarchy means no rulers. Nothing more nothing less.
In the case presented, the States are the sovereign individual entity. The subjects living in those states may or may not have rulers, but the states themselves are not ruled over by an external entity.
@@QvsTheWorld no. states are rulerships by definition. in the case presented, states exist and therefore the individual is not sovereign. therefore it is not anarchy. that's the point.
Central authority: IMF, Central Banks, UN. ? Police Force = USA Corporate army controlled by the Central authority.? Love, empathy and light of wisdom to you all. *hugs*
?? Just cause y’all have trust issues and can’t communicate among each other doesn’t mean that anarchy is the source of all faults in politics and history
And what the fuck is this military talk for when you dont need that the community works for one another towns build on things they need to trade with other towns or whatever or within itself remember guys theres more good than evil out there
The video isn't about anarchists...he literally said that in the beginning. It's about the anarchic nature of an international system. Which makes no sense since anarchy = no real system.
I like how everyone here are probably poli sci students studying for their exams, and here I am casually watching this to understand the theory.
good luck folks
You're not alone
Yeah I was looking at “the state” and went down a worm hole... but I’m also a poli sci major so...... I’m both I guess 😂
Nope me too lol
Good luck yourself in understanding. Note: there is not actual understanding of lies and bullshit, you can only be tricked, or trick yourself into believing a lie is the solution, you can only actually and truly understand the truth.
Yes, i just came here to understand the concept for my exams today. Thanks to the video....
This is superb for an understanding of what guides the behavior of States at international level.
Thanks !!!
I would like to say that I have been watching your videos since I started my masters and still I come and peek on it because of the way you teach! You are fantastic :-) Please make more videos
as a anarchist i just want to make this clear to my fellow anarchists: the man in the video mentioned himself he is not talking about us, he is talking about something else with a similar name
Yeah i already wondered
amen!
he is talking about and describing : PATRIARCHY
Why was the circle A upside down?
thank you I was wondering what the hell was going on lol
"The current international system is anarchic"

Can you make some IR theories ? Please ur explanation is very helpful

hello dear, i agree with u videos are benefitical
I think a more realistic theory is that over time a people accepted anarchy however didn't murder or rob just because there wasn't cops. They dealed with the people they didn't accept themselves.
This is great! I have an IR exam coming up next week, and this just made everything so much more clear(:
thankyou sir all of your videos are really very interesting ,love you sir,and maintain it
Thank you
The point at which I understood realism / anarchy was when I got that it was really about INsecurity
If I would have been C, I would have tried to cooperate with A and B using my extra resources not spent on military in order to enforce some kind of economic interdependence where A and B would have much more to loose than to gain by attacking me. If A or B were to attack me I could then convince the other that their economic interest are under threat.
Exactly! I don't know where these realists get the idea that the system is solely military-mediated. Guns AND butter determine politics.
And if everyone had applied your sensible thinking from the beginning, there never would have been an A B and C group at odds to begin with. That is the truth of Anarchy it comes about via and understanding and prioritization of moral uprightness.
@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 Exactly. I think anarchy promotes better cooperation in the longterm and maximizes freedom.

please make more IR related videos
I just watched for my my understanding, thank you for small but very nice explanation
Please keep uploading videos, your explanation
is so helpful.
Could you tell Me please No central authority Means ?
What i Understand Is Un May be I am wrong .
Such a great explanation!
I love you explanation it was really helpful please more IRL lectures
great video. really like the way you clear the concepts and make them look so easy. please do a video on Nationalism too.
