Abstract

Political Realism is an approach that never seems to die. In its latest reincarnation, neorealists have reiterated an old claim: states that behave according to collective security principles will fare poorly in a realist world. This paper examines interventions in disputes that are consistent with collective security principles, and compares the results to other forms of dispute action that are more consistent with realist thought. The results indicate that while interventions consistent with collective security principles are likely to produce higher casualties, the chances of success in collective security interventions is no lower than for other dispute activity. This finding offers a significant challenge to conventional realist thought.
