Man, Your first two lines of the video have solved my problem. Though I went through many resources to understand this concept but I wasn't able to comprehend it properly.

I like your name

[@NihilLZJ]

Thanks for the video! It somehow reminded me of neoclassicla realism, which is considered to be "eclectic" because it incorporates the three levels together....

[@mizanrahman1427]

Would please suggest a book for thus analysis, please sir.

[@NoahZerbe]

Any introductory International Relations textbook will address the levels of analysis. I've been using the free e-IR textbook (www.e-ir.info/2018/02/25/student-feature-levels-of-analysis/) which is generally very accessible.

Any theory can be used??

[@linhha8419]

@@NoahZerbe Thank you so much for your brief and effective explanations. There is one thing that I have been uncertain for long. It is when we conduct a research and need to find a theoretical framework. Is it necessary to be an IR theory like realism, liberalism or constructivism? Or we can depend on terminologies such as hedging, balance of power ... something like that. At first I thought only me stuck in finding a theory to explain my topic. But when I asked my other friends, they said they share the same concern.

[@linhha8419]

@@NoahZerbe Thank you so much for your reply! Some points you mentioned does really help for me! Can I take one example to clarify my question? For instance, when studying Japan foreign policy, I found some researchers look at hedging or accommodation while some look at pragmatic realism or neuautonomy ... This makes me feel quite confused when finding a theoretical framework.

[@linhha8419]

@@NoahZerbe thank you so much Professor. I will watch all your lecture videos to have more comprehensive understanding about different theories and concepts. Really like your brief and straight to the point explanations!
