E. H. Carr and political realism: Vision and revision
With undue and perhaps false modesty, E. H. Carr described his brilliant contribution to what he called ‘the infant science of international polities’, The Twenty Years’ Crisis 1919–1939: An Introduction to the Study of International Relations , as ‘already a period piece’ in 1946 when a second edition appeared.1 Teachers of the subject have not accepted Carr's ‘period piece’ characterization. For more than forty years it has been prescribed read…

Pluralism, The Science of Politics, and the World System
Primarily by reference to the writings of Charles E. Merriam, the impact of the Chicago school of political scientists on the study of world politics is assessed. Differences between that school's pragmatist pluralism and political realism are examined, as are differences between Merriam's ideal of cross-cutting human associations in a world of shared power and that of advocates of world government. Better adjusted personalities and international…

The truth shall make you f ree: One student's appreciation of Quincy Wright
The Causes of Peace and Conditions of War
What makes wars end ("the causes of peace") and what keeps wars from ending ("the conditions of war") has been much less studied than what makes wars start ("the causes of war") and what keeps wars from starting ("the con ditions of peace"). Past inattention to war termination prob lems is variously explained by political scientists' concern with war avoidance, strategists' concern with victory and deter rence, and pervasive doubts that thermonuc…

Frederick Sherwood Dunn and the American Study of International Relations
As a legal officer in the Department of State in the 1920's, Frederick S. Dunn developed a curiosity about the decision-making process of which he was a part. The dissatisfaction which he felt with prevailing explanations of state behavior, and particularly with single-factor explanations, was the spur to a lifetime of scholarly activity. His quest for greater knowledge relevant to the ordering and control of foreign affairs was to lead him succe…
The Teaching of International Relations in the United States
INTERNATIONAL relations, as a subject of instruction, has flourished more in the United States than elsewhere and more in recent years than ever before. What forces explain its growth and its present shape? How have methods of teaching it been affected by the goals of the teacher, by his relation to research, and by the formal organization of international studies in American colleges and universities? To what extent is the American experience so…

Interwar International Relations Research: The American Experience
What is today in the United States conventionally known as international relations is a subject different in content and emphasis from its counterpart of even two decades ago. Much of what seemed important in 1929 seems irrelevant, and some of it even trivial, in 1949. Another twenty years may perhaps bring a similar judgment on work now being done. But we ought at least to be aware of the direction in which we have been moving if we are to contr…

The United Nations in the Era of Total Diplomacy
In George Orwell's Animal Farm all that finally remains of the animals' plans for a brave new world, a farm without Farmer Jones, a farm to be run by and for the animals themselves, is the slogan “Four feet good; two feet bad.” As one reads the reports from Lake Success and Flushing Meadows one is tempted to say of the brave new world projected five years ago at San Francisco, the world of sovereign equality and greatpower unanimity, that all tha…

Civil-Military Relations Research: The SSRC Committee and Its Research Survey
In June 1952 a Social Science Research Council committee was established to take stock o? research on civil-military relations and make proposals with respect to the further development of research in this area. The members of the committee were not entirely satisfied with the phrase “civil-military relations” as describing the focus of their attention, but it was understood that the committee's interest lay in research bearing upon those problem…

The Super-Powers at San Francisco
The Charter of San Francisco is the modest end-product of the mightiest collective literary effort in history. Fifty delegations, comprising literally thousands of principal and subordinate personnel, labored feverishly for two months to achieve agreement on a constitution for the new world security organization.1 In contrast, the Covenant of the League of Nations was drafted by one of the commissions of the Peace Conference of Paris, on which th…

IV. Collective Enforcement of Peace and Security
The Security Council of the United Nations will, from the first day of its existence, include in its membership all of the great powers. The Council, backed by the united will of the five powers with permanent seats in that body, will act, if it acts at all, with an authority which no organ of the League of Nations ever possessed. In the League Council, there was no time during which all of the great powers participated. Only two of them, France …
Competence of Courts in Regard to Non-Sovereign Acts of Foreign States
Nineteenth century states exhibited an impressive uniformity in their internal organization. There was widespread agreement as to the “proper” scope of state activity. This clear separation of the spheres of “sovereign” (governmental) and “non-sovereign” (private) activity shaped the development of certain doctrines of international law. The complete jurisdictional immunity granted to foreign sovereigns implicitly, though not explicitly, assumed …
Legislative Personnel in Pennsylvania
PENNSYLVANIA is one of the forty-seven states still adhering to the bicameral legislative system. At each Congressional election Pennsylvania elects all of its 208 Representatives and half of its 50 Senators. Its lower house is the largest in the country, if New England be excluded; its upper house is of about average size. The Pennsylvania legislator, though better paid than most of his colleagues in the other states, is paid an amount wholly in…

Civilians, Soldiers, and American Military Policy
Intensive study of factors affecting the relative power position of states “in the long run”—location, human and material resources, level of economic development and rate of capital formation, national solidarity, etc.—is no substitute for consideration of certain other factors which operate in the short run and determine the extent to which a state's power potential is utilized to achieve specific foreign policy objectives. Wars are fought or t…
