Briefly describe the three types of anarchy described by Alexander Wendt.
What will be an ideal response?
According to Wendt, we can identify three ideal types of anarchy, each with very different implications for action. In Hobbesian anarchy, the system is much as realists depict, where states are adversaries and conflict is a normal part of their competition for power and survival. In Lockean anarchy, the system is more as liberals describe it, with states viewing each other as rivals, but in which cooperation, competition and conflict all occur. In Kantian anarchy, states see each other as friends and no longer fear each other or consider using force against each other. Instead, they find peaceful ways to settle their disputes and support each against other threats. Thus, “anarchy” itself is what states make of it, so it does not determine state behavior.
