Hi guys, this is my introduction to the essay on sovereignty I need to submit for the beginning of Jen. Being the first time I write and essay, I wanted your opinion on its length and some suggestions on how to improve it.

Why is the sovereignty/anarchy problematique so important for International relation theorists?

This essay attempts to explain the extent to which both theories and practice deal with the sovereignty/anarchy issue. In order to analyse in-depth the relationship between relative equality of states, and the ungoverned international arena, it is necessary to scrutinize the history and the development of these concepts through the lenses of realism. Once highlighted in turn, independence and interdependence of states in the globalisation era, the attention is gradually shifted towards the neo-neo debate and the English school tradition of global politics. It will be used a balanced approach that has undoubtedly the advantage of understanding international politics' mainstreams as well as explaining the role of state and non-state actors in foreign policy's outcomes. Although some theories might look more persuasive than others, their comparison provides a number of practical arguments to agree or disagree with. The aim here is not to choose the best theory, but rather to understand whether or not sovereign states are the only relevant actors in world politics and what makes the international realm more or less anarchic.
