The Security Dilemma in International Relations: Background and Present Problems
John Herz wrote a number of influential books and articles for students of International Relations in the 1950s. He is best known for coining and elaborating the concept of the ‘security dilemma’, which has been a focus of fruitful research ever since. At the Annual Convention of the International Studies Association in February 2003 (in Portland, Oregon), Professor Ned Lebow organized a panel entitled ‘50 Years of the Security Dilemma: In Honour…

Political Realism Revisited
Originating in a debate on political realism with the late Hans Morgenthau, this article purports to reanalyze some basic concepts underlying traditional realism (such as power, security, national interest, international systems) in the light of the fundamental changes in international relations that are indicated by the terms population pressure, resources depletion, environmental destruction, and, last but not least, armament races and nuclear …
The Nation-State and the Crisis of World Politics: Essays on International Politics in the Twentieth Century
On Reestablishing Democracy after the Downfall of Authoritarian or Dictatorial Regimes
This note suggests a process-oriented approach to comparative politics, using, for exemplification, a so far neglected problem area. We political comparers have been inclined to neglect comparisons of historical processes. (The only exception, perhaps, has been the postcolonial process of nation-building in the Third World). Specialists will study the legislative process of a particular country; occasionally, they may even compare it with rule-ma…
Legitimacy: Can We Retrieve It
of political units, regimes, or.institutions.I Not getting a clear answer to this question, we may begin, Stein-fashion, with asking what the question implies. Why are so many students of national, comparative, and international politics concerned about legitimacy? When a term whose use goes back far into history becomes questionable, there must be something in the underlying situation that accounts for it. We hear about the crisis of systems, th…
Nationalism: The Nature and Evolution of an Idea
In the two centuries since the French Revolution, political nationalism has become a force of tremendous importance in the modern world. It is also an extremely complex one. It helps hold together the historical events of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, showing them to be part of a continuing crisis. It has brought the histories of modern Asia, Africa and the Pacific into relation with European history, and made them part of universal his…

Political Realism and the Crisis of World Politics: An American Approach to Foreign Policy, by Kenneth W. Thompson
Originally published in 1960 by Princeton University Press, this volume contends that a full understanding of the underlying philosophy of political realism is necessary if American statesmen and scholars are to advance public understanding and awareness of the realities of international life and close the gap between what leaders feel and do and what the people imagine they do. The author's central aim is a careful explication of the origins of …

It argues that some of the factors that underlay the 'modern state system' have undergone such fundamental changes that the structure of international relations itself is different and can no longer be interpreted exclusively in traditional terms.

Idealist Internationalism and the Security Dilemma
The heartbreaking plight in which a bipolarized and atom bomb-blessed world finds itself today is but the extreme manifestation of a dilemma with which human societies have had to grapple since the dawn of history. For it stems from a fundamental social constellation, one where a plurality of otherwise interconnected groups constitute ultimate units of political life, that is, where groups live alongside each other without being organized into a …
Rise and Demise of the Territorial State
Students and practitioners of international politics are at present in a strange predicament. Complex though their problems have been in the past, there was then at least some certainty about the “givens,” the basic structure and the basic phenomena of international relations. Today one is neither here nor there. On the one hand, for instance, one is assured—or at least tempted to accept assurance—that for all practical purposes a nuclear stalema…

Expropriation of Foreign Property
Strange as it may seem, a coherent theory of expropriation as a separate institution has not been developed in the literature of international law. For the most part only partial aspects of the subject have been treated, and under widely differing categories, e.g., under the general title of “ rights of foreigners,” or “ denial of justice,” or “ international responsibility of states.” But international practice, as embodied in diplomatic and jud…

Alternative Proposals to Democracy: Naziism
INTRODUCTION: NAZIISM-THE EASY SOLUTION To describe nature and essential features of a great political movement in compass of a short paper is a difficult enterprise. National Socialism, in particular, presents obstacles to short and precise definition. A living movement is never as unequivocal as a past phenomenon may present itself to historian. It may have changed since its inception and still be changing. Moreover, as a living reality, it inf…

German Administration under the Nazi Régime
When the third edition of Otto Mayer's famous treatise on German administrative law appeared in 1924, this dean of the science of German administration remarked, ironically and almost contemptuously, in his preface: “No important additions have been necessary since the editions of 1914 and 1917.... While constitutions wane, administrative structures remain.” This statement being made at a time when the structure of German government seemed to hav…
