Fearing that the Chinese government would kill him, the Dalai Lama fled from Tibet to India with thousands of followers, where he was welcomed by Indian Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. Nehru gave him permission to form The Tibetan Government in exile in Dharamsala in India. Thus, Dalai Lama, and the refugees who followed him created a society in which Tibetan language, culture, arts and religion are promoted.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Realism has long been the dominant perspective in International relation theory. A central assumption of the realist approach is that the rules of the international system are dictated by anarchy. Realist, such a Kenneth Waltz, link this lack of 'world governments to the continued occurrence of violence among states. 
The belief of realists being that the States are the only relevant actors in international politics and there being no central authority to regulate nation-states, a state of anarchy exists, and due to which war and conflict is a constant threat. So the states that are claiming sovereignty will always develop offensive military capabilities to defend themselves and extend their power. The states ultimately count on self-help for guaranteeing their own security. States want to maintain independence and sovereignty and therefore survival is the deriving force influencing their behaviour. For the realist, the highest goal is the survival of the state.
