Full brief available to Global Realist subscribers
A structural framework for analyzing international power that begins with the imperative of state survival and works outward — tracking interest, not narrative; structure, not intention.
Read the Full Doctrine →States act primarily to secure continued existence. Ideology, alliance, and cooperation are all downstream of the imperative to survive in an anarchic international system.
What states do matters more than what they say. Geography, capability, and systemic pressure determine behavior regardless of stated values or declared purpose.
Power and interest are stable variables; narrative changes to serve them. Analysts who track interest will consistently outpredict those who track ideology.
