Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Provide an outline of the role of tragedy in international relations.
2. Explain why Jervis might emphasize the word tragedy, rather than the word evil.
3. Describe how a more cooperation-based international community creates greater opportunity for tragedy to be created or allowed to persist.
4. Evaluate how this problem is particularly prominent in international relations, and how cooperation does not inherently have to equate to slowness of action, or lack of action altogether.
5. Provide a concise and effective conclusion.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
