Hans Morgenthau's Politics Among Nations is a classic of political
science, built on the firm foundation of Morgenthau's watertight
reasoning skills. The central aim of reasoning is to construct a
logical and persuasive argument that carefully organizes and
supports its conclusions - often around a central concept or scheme
of argumentation. Morgenthau's subject was international relations
- the way in which the world's nations interact, and come into
conflict or peace - a topic which was of vital importance during
the unstable wake of the Second World War. To the complex problem
of understanding the ways in which the post-war nations were
jostling for power, Morgenthau brought a comprehensive schema: the
concept of "realism" - or, in other words, the idea that every
nation will act so as to maximise its own interests. From this
basis, Morgenthau builds a systematic argument for a pragmatic
approach to international relations in which nations seeking
consensus should aim for a balance of power, grounding relations
between states in understandings of how the interests of individual
nations can be maximized. Though seismic shifts in international
politics after the Cold War undeniably altered the landscape of
international relations, Morgenthau's dispassionate reasoning about
the nature of our world remains influential to this day.
