The Wasteland of International Relations and How to Cultivate It

On this point, see the exceptionally perceptive essay by James Mayall on " International Society and International Theory," pp. 142-152 in Donelan (ed.), The Reason of States.

See his paper " Alliances: tradition and change in American views of foreign military entanglements," pp. 37-57, in Booth & Wright (eds.), American Thinking about Peace and War.

See Peter Singer , "Famine, Affluence and Morality," 1 Philosophy and Public Affairs ( 1972), pp. 229-243.

See V. Kubalkova and A.A. Cruickshank , " A Double Omission," 3 British Journal of International Studies (1977), pp. 286-307.

See Lucien Musset , The Germanic Invasions, AD 400-600 (London: Elek, 1975).

It is often forgotten that Kievian Russia possessed a system of city-states as mature as that of Italy during the early Renaissance, before it was wrecked by the Mongol onslaught at the Battle of the River Kalka in 1223. This highlights the foolishness of those who would insist on judging the subsequent history of Russia, including that of contemporary Russia, in terms of West European parallels.

As quoted by Peter F. Butler in " Legitimacy in a States-system: Vattel's Law of Nations," in Donelan (ed.), op. cit, at p. 48.

Peter Savigear , "International Relations and Philosophy of History" in Donelan (ed.), op. cit, pp. 195-205. One feels, however, that Savigear is less than justified when one considers F, H. Hinsley's impressive work along those lines. See Hinsley , Power and the Pursuit of Peace (London: Cambridge University Press. 1963); Sovereignty (London: Watts. 1966); and Nationalism and the International 5ystem (London: Hodder and Stoughton. 1973).
