Part 3 IR paradigm

A Realism perspective I choose the realism perspective because the primary source of realism is power. Each primary unit is after just that. The more power they have the more steel they can deal out increasing their profits. To get more power they essentially have to buy out or out market other units. This only benefits them in which they gain more power. In this case France is trying to buy out Germany's resources and vice versa. Bringing the subject of competing steel units closer to home we can look at the Untied States and China. We purchase steel and other raw materials from China because it's a very inexpensive way of meeting the quota. However, this gives more power to China because they gain our insight through making our various steel products for us and gaining profit. They use this insight to market the same items we do and make a profit. The importance of this is that instead of the United States or France getting the power and the profit that comes with it, the competitors are. One solution is fair trade. In this case equal power is distributed and both units somewhat win. All and all the steel unit is a big competition and in the end the unit with the most power will prevail.
