Abstract

In the past two hundred years, the world has experienced an era of fierce competition. During this period, the realism theory was praised as the interpretation of international relations. As a result of globalization, international institutions have been established to promote cooperation and settle disputes. This paper will examine the respective roles of power, interests and institutions from the perspective of realism and liberalism, and use empirical evidence to demonstrate that power ultimately plays a leading role in promoting international politics. Through the investigation of historical evidence, it can be clearly seen that among the three contributing factors of world politics: power, interest and system. Cooperation and interdependence seem to be common in the 21st century, and countries resolve conflicts through the environment created by the system. Countries should always be prepared to prevent other countries from pursuing power in conflicts.
