Neo-neo synthesis
The Neo-Neo Synthesis is a phrase used in international relations to refer to the convergence of the neorealist and the neoliberal[1] schools of thought since the 1970s. The term is frequently used by scholars who work outside of those two paradigms as a way of derisively lumping the two together. The neo-neo synthesis is particularly troubling to many scholars who favor more traditional liberal approaches, and fear that, particularly under the influence of Robert Keohane, modern neoliberalism has little to do with the movement from which it draws its name.[2]
The neo-neo synthesis, and indeed both neorealism and neoliberalism, are often seen as primarily American phenomena by British scholars, who see the convergence as evidence of the need for the International Society school of thought as a way to balance against growing neo-neo influence.
