This book builds upon Structural Realism by using its assumptions, but departs from it by studying weak states. This book presents a theory of weak state behavior. Neo-Gramscian theorist Robert Cox, contends, “Theory is always for someone and for some purpose” (1981, 128). The following preliminary research intends to develop a general theory of weak power International politics, to construct a theory for weak states for the purpose of furthering their development. Weak states are not limited to bandwagoning; these vulnerable units are able to pursue diverse relationships independent of the balance of power. There are no theories of International Relations that describe this particular behavior.
