Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Defense and deterrence are central concepts of the defensive realist perspective, as this approach emphasizes the importance of ensuring a state's security and preventing aggression from other states. Cooperation and interdependence are not as central to this perspective, as defensive realists focus more on protecting their own interests rather than relying on cooperation or shared interests with other countries.
