Qin Huiyin

Abstract

It has been 30 years since the emergence of international cooperation study.This essay is a comparison of the international cooperation theories from the three main IR schools—neorealism,neoliberal institutionalism and constructionism,specifically,how they set their hypothesises and consequently define national interest and then deduce their explanations of international cooperation.The shared knowledge from the three schools is mentioned as well.Examining the limits of the three cooperation theories,it is suggested to construct a comprehensive explanation model which imbibes the strength of perspective of power,cognition or institution.
