Decision-making and Construction of Power from Structural Systemic Realism

To design a foreign policy, as a basic requirement the functioning of the world system in which is inserted the country must be understood. Decisions can not be taken in the frame of a system whose operation is just an “illusion”. In order to know the world system, we have to be located from a perspective that allows us to watch it as it is. This will provide a “cosmovision” of the reality. The Realism contributes to that perspective. There are “realistic theories”, but the Realism is not a theory; the Realism itself is a cosmovision, and as any cosmovision it is universal. There is an exaltation of the vision that new theories overcome to the Realism, and that is not to understand what the Realism is and what a theory is. This is demonstrated in the article starting from an epistemological studio.

En el diseño de la política exterior, primero debe entenderse el funcionamiento del sistema mundial en el que está inserto el país que ha sido elegido para estudiar. No se pueden tomar decisiones en el marco de un sistema de cuyo funcionamiento se tiene un “espejismo”. Para conocer el sistema mundial, debemos ubicarnos desde una perspectiva que nos permita observarlo tal cual es, es decir, tener una“cosmovisión” de la realidad. El Realismo aporta esa perspectiva. Hay “teorías realistas”, pero el Realismo no es una teoría; el Realismo es una cosmovisión, y como toda cosmovisión es universal. Hay una exaltación de la visión de que nuevas teorías superan al Realismo, y eso significa no comprender qué es el Realismo y qué es una teoría. A lo largo de este artículo se demostrará lo anterior a partir de un estudio epistemológico.    Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales 2010-06-08 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/rri/article/view/18131 Revista de Relaciones Internacionales de la UNAM; Núm. 104 0185-0814 spa https://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/rri/article/view/18131/17251
