Final answer:

Poststructuralists critique universalism and do not agree with realists on taking power and the state seriously.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. Poststructuralists critique universalism and diverge from realists in their belief that there are no universal structures or systems. Poststructuralists argue that the meaning of things is always being created and recreated, not predetermined by universal structures. They also dispute the claim that any universal system of relations exists, asserting that what is presented as a universal system is a product of human imagination and power dynamics within a society.
