Instead, Patrick M. Morgan argues that international politics must be studied through multiple theoretical lenses, each highlighting different aspects of global behavior.

The core idea is that IR theory is not just abstract philosophy—it is a set of tools for interpreting real-world political events, such as war, alliances, diplomacy, and conflict management.

Morgan emphasizes:
