Question

What theory holds that individuals and states alike act according to the iron logic of self-interest?

Answer 1

Answer:

- Political Realism Theory

Explanation:

'Political Realism Theory' is described as the theory that aims to elucidate, model, and advise political actions. It is held primarily on the idea that 'individuals, as well as, states act as per the iron logic of self-interest' as the state holders pursue power for their own interests and the individuals for their own. Power plays a significant role in determining the political action at both the domestic, as well as, international arena as it preaches the principle of 'might is right' and thus, both the individuals and states assert their power for satisfying their self-interests.
