And the UN is as only as strong as its members initiatives.
-
@rpaddon Economy=military=power. Simple.
-
Can anyone clarify the difference between Waltzs pre and post cold war accounts of the international stage?
-
Very good point he made about the "need" for rogue states to develop nuclear weapons as that was the only way of deterring the US; I never thought of it like that before. A highly informative interview (even with the sketchy opening and closing music).
-
@rpaddon To ignore non state actors in the international system is entirely dubious however. After all hasn't Western Foreign policy of hte past ten years been almost entirely influenced by 9/11? That to me is the critical flaw of his theory.
-
what's with the obsession of those non-stop repetition,what? is he a stutter or something like that?
-
@rpaddon there is a Supra National Organization: the European Union.
The UN is a different entity, it is an International Organization..
-
somebody please make a remix of his 'wha-wha-wha' over a techno beat!!

If you want to hear a good deconstruction of this guy, read "The Logic or Anarchy" by Jones, Little and Buzan. Pretty indepth but it points out the incoherence of his theories

My god, I wish that Kreisler would stop with the "wha-wha-wha-wha-what i-i-i-i-is...." It is so distracting

His idea of anarchy is a lack of government. There is no supra-national government that is able to effect the behavior of a state. The UN has no teeth and has been shown to be ineffective.
The State is still supreme, though the nature of the game has changed. The military is no longer the primary way that states attain power, economic coercion has become increasingly important in a world where large scale conflict is avoided as much as possible.
