Política entre las naciones. La lucha por el
Política entre las naciones. La lucha por el
La finalidad de este libro consiste en presentar una teoría de la política internacional. El modo en que debe validarse una tal teoría debe ser empírico y pragmático antes que apriorístico y abstracto. En otras palabras, la teoría no debe ser juzgada mediante algunas nociones abstractas y preconcebidas, y conceptos desligados de la realidad, sino por su propósito: aportar orden y significado a una masa de fenómenos que, sin ella, permanecerán des…

The Four Paradoxes of Nuclear Strategy
The nuclear age has ushered in a novel period of history, as distinct from the age that preceded it as the modern age has been from the Middle Ages or the Middle Ages have been from antiquity. Yet while our conditions of life have drastically changed under the impact of the nuclear age, we still live in our thoughts and act through our institutions in an age that has passed. There exists, then, a gap between what we think about our social, politi…
A Political Theory of Foreign Aid
Of the seeming and real innovations which the modern age has introduced into the practice of foreign policy, none has proven more baffling to both understanding and action than foreign aid. The very assumption that foreign aid is an instrument of foreign policy is a subject of controversy. For, on the one hand, the opinion is widely held that foreign aid is an end in itself, carrying its own justification, both transcending, and independent of, f…

"Another "Great Debate: The National Interest of the United States
The controversy which has arisen on the occasion of Ambassador Kennan's and my recent publications differs from the great historical debates on American foreign policy in two significant respects. It raises an issue more fundamental to the understanding of American foreign policy and of all politics than those with which the previous "great debates" were concerned, and it deals with the issue largely in terms which are not conducive to understand…

Positivism, Functionalism, and International Law
If an event in the physical world contradicts all scientific forecasts, and thus challenges the assumptions on which the forecasts have been based, it is the natural reaction of scientific inquiry to reëxamine the foundations of the specific science and attempt to reconcile scientific findings and empirical facts. The social sciences do not react in the same way. They have an inveterate tendency to stick to their assumptions and to suffer constan…
To Intervene or Not to Intervene
The Political Science of E. H. Carr
If peace and security are the earmarks of a successful foreign policy, the foreign policies pursued since the end of the first World War by the great Western powers were certainly less successful than any pursued by these powers since the end of the Napoleonic Wars. To say this, of course, is only to state the obvious. That the succession of failures is rooted in a marked decline in the political intelligence of the Western world is less obvious.…
Reflections on the State of Political Science
In plato's Theaetetus Socrates develops the character of the philosopher, the man of knowledge, in contrast to the atheoretical, practical man.* He endeavors to demonstrate the distinctive qualities of the philosopher by emphasizing his peculiar attitude towards the political sphere.First, the philosopher has no political ambitions, and he does not care about what is going on in the political sphere

The Mainsprings of American Foreign Policy: The National Interest vs. Moral Abstractions
It is often said that the foreign policy of the United States is in need of maturing and that the American people and their government must grow up if they want to emerge victorious from the trials of our age. It would be truer to say that this generation of Americans must shed the illusions of their fathers and grandfathers and relearn the great principles of statecraft which guided the path of the republic in the first decade and-in moralistic …
The Resurrection of Neutrality in Europe
The collapse of the League of Nations as an instrument of collective security has called forth a series of politico-legal reactions, of which perhaps the most symptomatic of the crisis in the international order is the new neutrality policy of the small European states. This new policy was prompted by the collapse of the League of Nations sanctions against Italy. After withdrawal from the League had been seriously discussed in some of the small E…

The New United Nations and the Revision of the Charter
The conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union has prevented the United Nations from becoming the international government of the great powers which the Charter intended it to be. That conflict has paralyzed the Security Council as an agency of international government. In the few instances when it has been able to act as an agency of international government, it has been able to do so either, as in the beginning of the Korean War, b…
What Is the National Interest of the United States
States is significant in itself, for it shows the profound change which has come about in American thinking on matters of foreign policy. A little less than forty years ago, one of the greatest of American statesmen, Woodrow Wilson, gave a speech at Mobile, Alabama in which he declared, is a very perilous thing to determine the foreign policy of a nation in the terms of material interest. It not only is unfair to those with whom you are dealing, …

The Political Conditions for an International Police Force
A police force, domestic or international, must meet two requirements: it must be reliable, and it must be effective. While obviously it cannot be effective if it is not reliable, it can be reliable without being effective, and it is for this reason that the two prerequisites must be distinguished. A police force, in order to be reliable, must be loyal to the political authorities and share their conceptions of law and justice. A police force, in…

The Problem of German Reunification
The unification of Germany is at present im possible because of the irreconcilable interests of the United States and the Soviet Union. The Berlin issue, as it was raised by Khrushchev in November 1958, is the symbolic man ifestation of the real issue which has separated the United States and the Soviet Union since the beginning of the cold war, that is, the permanence and legitimacy of the territorial status quo in Europe. The substance of the B…
The Dilemmas of Freedom
During the Civil War, which was a war for freedom in a truer sense than most of the wars which have been so called, Abraham Lincoln laid bare the essentials of the dilemma which has baffled the philosophic understanding of freedom and which has made it appear that there was always something left to be desired in its political realization. On April 18, 1864, Lincoln gave a brief and unpretentious address to the crowd assembled at the Sanitary Fair…
Foreign Policy: The Conservative School
These two books are as dissimilar as two books can be which deal with essentially the same problem and are inspired by essentially the same philosophy. The problem is the survival of the West, and the philosophy is one of progressive conservatism. In foreign policy, both authors share a preference for the traditional outlook and methods and an aversion to the crusading tendencies of mass democracy

World Politics in the Mid-Twentieth Century
From the end of the religious wars to the First World War, the modern state system was kept together by the intellectual and moral tradition of the Western world. That tradition imposed moral and legal limitations on the struggle for power on the international in a certatin measure, maintained order in the international community and secured the independence of its individual members. What is left of this heritage today? What kind of consensus un…
