The article discusses political theory and international relations, focusing on the state of nature, autonomy of states, and distributive justice. Realists are skeptical about international relations, which can be seen as a Hobbesian situation. States have autonomy and must balance individual liberty with nonintervention and self-determination. Distributive justice involves social cooperation, entitlements to resources, and global fairness. The rights of states are crucial in both international and domestic contexts. The article explores these concepts and their applications in the real world.
