The Rise of the Nation-State System,[object Object],The Peace of Westphalia in 1648 marked the beginning of the nation-state system in Western Europe.,[object Object],After extensive fighting over religious questions, the signers of the peace treaty agree to a new order based on the concept of state sovereignty, more specifically the right of each state to choose its own religious preferences.,[object Object],Gerard terBorch painting of,[object Object],the ratification of the Treaty,[object Object],of Muenster,[object Object]
Thinkers of the Post-Westphalian Period,[object Object],John Hobbes,[object Object],Hugo Grotius,[object Object],Jean Jacques Rousseau,[object Object],Immanuel Kant,[object Object]
One Interpretation: Kenneth Waltz’s Man the State and War,[object Object],Three images (concerning the real origin of war):,[object Object],Human nature (Hobbes, Locke),[object Object],Regime type,[object Object],International system (Rousseau),[object Object],Waltz argues that the third image is superior to the other two.,[object Object]
The Diplomatic Historians,[object Object],Rose to prominence in the 19th century,[object Object],Focused on detailed description of diplomacy and statecraft among the European great powers after 1648,[object Object],Stressed the importance of individual leaders and their ability to create and maintain coalitions,[object Object],Influential writers: Leopold von Ranke, William Langer, Ludwig Dehio, F.H. Hinsley,[object Object]
American Idealism,[object Object],Strongest advocates of the use of international law to prevent war were in the United States.,[object Object],Woodrow Wilson pushed  strongly for the creation of the League of Nations after WW1 only to see it rejected by Congress.,[object Object],In the 1920s and 1930s, many Americans supported diplomacy and other alternatives to warfare, and wanted to avoid involvement in another European conflict. ,[object Object]
Post-War Realism,[object Object],Key Authors,[object Object],E.H. Carr,[object Object],Reinhold Niebuhr,[object Object],Hans Morgenthau,[object Object],John Herz,[object Object],Hedley Bull,[object Object],Criticized the idealism of earlier thinkers; emphasized the primacy of the pursuit of power in international affairs,[object Object]
The Debates over Polarity,[object Object],Some realist scholars thought that a multipolar system (which they posited existed in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries) was more stable and less likely to result in another global war than the bipolar system that came into existence with the end of WW2.,[object Object],Others (including Kenneth Waltz) argued that bipolarity was better.,[object Object],A number of major books and articles were published on this question.,[object Object]
Integration, Interdependence, and Regime Theories,[object Object],Scholars in this area were looking for pragmatic ways to build up international institutions and legal regimes in ways that might prevent future wars, but would also lead to greater economic prosperity.,[object Object],They started by looking at the political support for European integration.,[object Object],Key authors included: Ernst B. Haas, Leon Lindberg, Stuart Scheingold, Philippe Schmitter, Joseph Nye.,[object Object]
The Rise of International Political Economy,[object Object],After the oil price increases in the 1970s, even hard-boiled realists like Henry Kissinger realized the importance of economic factors in world affairs.,[object Object],The idea of “managing interdependence” came into vogue.,[object Object],While the originators of the idea of interdependence were looking for new sources of order in the system, some realists were retooling to include economic relationships in their theories.,[object Object]
Neo-Realism,[object Object],One reaction to theories of interdependence and international regimes was to return to the earlier ideas of the post-WW2 realists.,[object Object],A key figure in this revival was Kenneth Waltz and his main contribution was Theory of International Politics (1979).,[object Object],Waltz argued for the key importance of the distribution of power in the international system because there was no real order other than a state of “anarchy” in that system in which states had to defend themselves.,[object Object]
Robert Keohane and Neo-Realism,[object Object],Keohane tried to reconcile the neo-realist focus on power and the distribution of power with the IPE schools focus on regimes and regime change.,[object Object],His answer was to suggest a connection between the distribution of power and regime changes (building on the work of earlier scholars like Charles Kindleberger, John Ruggie, Stephen Krasner, and Robert Gilpin).,[object Object],Thus was Hegemonial Stability Theory (HST) born.,[object Object]
Other Isms,[object Object],Constructivism,[object Object],Post-Modernism,[object Object],Neo-Marxism,[object Object],Feminism,[object Object]
Summing Up,[object Object],Theories of international relations have evolved in ways that are somewhat different from those in other disciplines: more faddish, less driven by empirical research.,[object Object],While there is some continuity in their  focus on war and peace and the distribution of power, in the last century the gap between those scholars looking only at military-strategic issues and those looking at a broader range of phenomena has grown significantly.,[object Object]
