This system is similar to a microeconomic model in which firms set prices and quantity based on the market. Neorealism, developed largely within the American political science tradition, seeks to reformulate the classical realist tradition of E.H. Carr , Hans Morgenthau , and Reinhold Niebuhr into a rigorous and positivistic social science . [ edit ] Theory
