The key problem of world order now is to seek to devise institutional arrangements that are consistent both with key features of international relations and the new shape of domestic politics in key countries. It will be very difficult to construct such institutions. They must be built not only by governments but by international civil society under conditions of globalization. They must be constructed not by a single hegemonic power but by several countries whose interest conflict in multiple ways.
Sixth Entry
Unlike Hobbes, we now have great difficulty imagining the line between before and after as a magical instant of creation, or between here and there as straight line of zero width. But we also have the difficulty of imagining politics in other terms than those given by Hobbes, by a metaphysics of horisontal and vertical lines, by the assumption of a suvereignty we may all be ready to dismiss but which still authorize our account of what and where politics must be. The very existence of a theory of international realtions, as of the political theory to which it is counterposed, depends precisely on this authorization. Europe presents a situation in which neither side of this spatial divide has very much to say, except to repeat the stories hat have kept them apart.
Fifth Entry
The outstanding characteristic of these provisions is the abrogation of the principle of impenetrability
of the national territory, in so far as the production and the use of atomic energy in all its aspects is concerned. For the Atomic Development Authority national boundaries cease to exist. Its agents can go whereever they please, inspecting, controlling, doing research, constructing, producing, issuing rules and regulations. Theirs is indeed One World
, in which they exercise supreme lawgiving authority, subject only to the terms of the charter - that is, the constitution under which the Atomic Development Authority, like any other governmental agency, would operate.
Fourth entry
This politics of The Prince
, fictitous or otherwise, from which people sought to distance themselves, was characterized by one principle: for Machiavelli, it was alleged, the prince stood in a relation of singularity and externality, and thus of transcendence, to his principality. The prince acquires his principality by inheritance or conquest, but in any case he does not form part of it, he ramins external to it.
Third entry
Though naught but a simple cross
Now marks those heroes’ grave,
Their names will live forever!
Oh England, Land of the Brave!
Second Entry
In a world of cliques of thightly knit social circles, indviduals are better off investing time in acquaintances (or "weak ties" because it is through acquaintance that cliques are bridge and that information diffuses through a policy network ... information communicated by strong ties - within-clique communi-cation - will tend to be redundant, and will tend to travel short distances relative to the size of the network as a whole.
The utility of network typologies is open to question in situations in which there is rapid change (both of institutions and actors), a lack of clear sectoral / subsectoral boundaries, complexity of decision-making and a potentially large number of actors drawn from different levels of policy formation [...]
First Entry
Women as a disadvantaged group are, then, like maids (and like house servants), somewhat cut off ecologically from congress with their kind. Unlike household staff, however, women are also separated from one another by the stake they acquire in the very organization which divides them. For instead of an employer or master, a woman is likely to have (through the cource of her life) a father, a husband, and sons. And these males transmit to her enough of what they themselves possess or acquire to give her a vested interest in corporation. Defined different from men, each is yet linked to partucular men through fundamental social bonds, placing her in a coalition of menfolk against the whole rest of the world, a coalition, incidentially, which leads her to participate together with a connected male i many social situations. For plainly, here the disadvantages and the advantage comprise two perfectly divided halves of the whole society, with similarity in expectations organized within sex-class and bondedness organized across the sexes.
