"realist"
In realist theorising power becomes a central variable in a twofold causal link. Power understood as resources or ‘capabilities’ is an indicator for the strength of actors, and consequently of the capacity to affect or control events. Likewise, a general capacity to control outcomes has been used as an indicator for the ruling of the international system.
