Kissingerian Realism

Kissingerian Realism is a geopolitical approach developed by Henry Kissinger, emphasizing pragmatic, strategic decision-making over idealism. It focuses on the interest and power of nation-states, recognizing that global politics are often driven by competition and the pursuit of national security. It advocates for flexible diplomacy, strategic stability, and balancing power, sometimes involving calculated compromises or alliances. This outlook prioritizes national interests and realpolitik over moral or ideological concerns, aiming to maintain stability and prevent conflict through pragmatic engagement rather than idealistic visions of global harmony.
