What are the causes of war? Wars are generally begun by a
revisionist state seeking to take territory. The psychological root
of revisionism is the yearning for glory, honor and power. Human
nature is the primary cause of war, but political regimes can
temper or intensify these passions. This book examines the effects
of six types of regime on foreign policy: monarchy, republic and
sultanistic, charismatic, and military and totalitarian
dictatorship. Dictatorships encourage and unleash human ambition,
and are thus the governments most likely to begin ill-considered
wars. Classical realism, modified to incorporate the impact of
regimes and beliefs, provides a more convincing explanation of war
than neo-realism.
