Explanation
According to Foucault, discourses are fundamental in shaping authority and knowledge. While some perspectives dismiss their importance, post-structuralists highlight that discourses reveal the intertwined nature of knowledge and power. The notion that the state is central to international politics is unrelated to Foucault's view on discourses.
