[B]Neo-realism[/B] is a theory of international relations,by Kenneth Waltz in his 1979 book. Neorealism, developed largely within the American political science tradition seeks to reformulate the classical realism tradition of E.H. Carr, Hans Morgenthau, and Reinhold Niebuhr into a rigorous and positivistic social science.


[B]Neo-Idealism[/B]. A more recent form of Absolute Idealism, characterized by an approach to the problem of knowledge through experience rather than by means of aprioristic speculations.
