Realism and Feasibility

Abstract

Feasibility is a central but challenging concept for realism. For example, is it the central concept for realists, or are 'order' or 'legitimacy' better candidates for that role? And, if feasibility does matter to realism, then what kind of feasibility matters the most - short-term or long term, material conditions or public opinion, probabilities or certainties, and so on. These challenges and more are explored by the papers on this panel.
