Purpose: The primary goal of this Assignment is to explore another very important concept in international relations discussed during this course: the logic of international interactions. Two logic-based arguments commonly used in social science research are rationalist (logic of consequence) and constructivist (logic of appropriateness). In particular, you will investigate the progression towards anarchy on the Easter Islands and determine if the anarchy was caused or constituted.
Write: In your assignment, complete the following:
Explain the anarchy that developed on the Easter Islands using a rationalist argument.
Explain the anarchy that developed on the Easter Islands using a constructivist argument.
Assess which argument provides the most logical explanation for the anarchical events on the Easter Islands.
