4. Assesses how key elements of each type of power might have aided in the defeat of the Gaddafi regime.
5. Offer a concise summary and effective conclusion.

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should include:

2. Compare and contrast those foundational principles of realism as they have changed or fallen out of favor over time, in the context of those which have remained constant. Such principles may relate to power, human nature, international order, and potential for peace.
3. If possible, students should cite examples such as World War I and the Vietnam War from the text to illustrate the development of realism in international relations.
4. Outline the primary contributors to realism, such as Sun Tzu, Hobbes, Machiavelli, Morgenthau, etc., and their particular contributions.
