What role do misperceptions play in arguments from the realist perspective?
What will be an ideal response?
The realist perspective expects states to evaluate the distribution of power accurately because power is primarily material. When power is evaluated inaccurately (or misperceived), some realist analysts turn to liberal factors (like domestic processes and institutions) or identity factors (like ideologies of expansion or the nature of domestic political regimes) to explain misperception. An explanation becomes less realist when material factors explain less than interactions or ideas.
