What is your reaction to Kant applying his idea of a categorial

1. What is your reaction to Kant applying his idea of a categorial imperative to international politics?  In other words, do you think that a rational logic leads people to cooperate, knowing that we are all better off cooperating?  Or does fear/insecurity, vanity, ambition, etc. lead actors to what could be argued an illogical path to conflict?  

2. How well do you think Doyle’s Liberalist argument for a Kantian Internationalism holds up against the Realist logic of security-seeking States being in a perpetual state of competition and conflict—regardless of whether they are liberal, capitalist democracies or not?

3. Between Neo-Realism and Neo-Liberalism, which theory is better able to explain outcomes in international politics?  Explain your answer.
