Theory of Overcompensation
Every day the news seems to get more and more bleak, and sometimes the study of international relations makes it feel like everything bad is inevitable. Instead of explaining global politics through the typical IR frameworks, like realism, liberalism, constructivism, all of which tend to ignore the psychological dimension of human behavior, we’re taking a new spin.

This is the theory of overcompensation.
