In Wendt's opinion, why did classical realists need to make the assumption that human nature is driven by an innate lust for power?
a. All state behavior at the international level must logically be rooted in human nature.
b. This is the only realistic assumption to make about human nature.
c. Power is necessary for a state's survival in the international system.
d. Anarchy alone is not sufficient to produce the world of competitive power politics depicted by realism.
e. A definitive structure of egoism in human identity logically follows from anarchical ideologies.
Question 2
In Wendt's view, one reason why the predator argument is less compelling than it first appears is that
a. if the cause of predatory behavior is prior systemic interaction, then predators can also be transformed into good apples by future systemic interaction.
b. it is logically incoherent.
c. it assumes that all states are inherently predatory, which is unrealistic.
d. the behavior of predators cannot be meaningfully altered, so they must be eliminated from the system.
e. if the source of predation stems from unit-level causes, then this cannot logically affect the behavior of states at the systemic level.
