 Principles of International Relations
Historically the international system has evolved through a series of major wars (Westphalia 1648; Napoleon 1815; World Wars I and II; the Cold War) and has been dominated by Great Powers in various conditions of "polarity": unipolar, bipolar, and multipolar.
Thus, the prisoners dilemma and the tragedy of the commons can be overcome at times, and international organizations (like the UN and the EU), and international law can mitigate the problem of anarchy and the security dilemma, particularly if more states become democracies, since according to "democratic peace theory" democracies don't fight each other.
The state system &endash; now globalized &endash; is based on internal state sovereignty and a state of international "anarchy" (no common power).

 Correlates of War Project History
More generally, the correlates of war project promoted cumulative science in the field of international relations when the scientific study of politics was in its infancy.
Accordingly, early efforts were undertaken to measure many of those factors that purportedly accounted for war such as national capability, alliances, geography, polarity, and status in the post-Napoleonic period, and the list of data sets assembled by the project has continued to grow over the years (see Data Sets).
The Correlates of War Project was founded in 1963 by J. David Singer, a political scientist at the University of Michigan.
