National Interest could be defined as :

  • A.The interest of the majority and minority group in a country
  • B.The general and continuing objectives for which a nation acts
  • C.The interest of democratic parties
  • D.The interest of ruling parties

Answer: B

National interest is best defined as the general and continuing objectives for which a nation acts.

The national interest refers to the enduring goals of a state as a whole, above all its survival, security and well-being, which guide its foreign policy regardless of which government is in power. This is the sense in which realists like Morgenthau use the term.

The interest of particular groups, democratic parties or ruling parties is partisan or sectional, not national. A government may present its own party's interests as national, but the concept refers to the nation's continuing objectives.
