	Mearsheimer - Lying in International Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Nevertheless, it is an accepted practice in international politics, mainly because there are sometimes compelling strategic reasons for a state’s leaders to lie either to other states or their own people.
		In sum, the potential for blowback is the criterion for assessing the consequences of international lying on the home-front, while the relevant criterion in the foreign-policy realm is the potential for backfire.
		This rather sharp distinction between domestic and international politics may seem nonsensical, but if one thinks about it, most of us accept the fact that there are a few well-defined arenas in our personal lives where lying is considered acceptable behavior and where there is thought to be little danger of spillover into other arenas.

		Considering the degree of economic and political liberalization and the ongoing rapid technological change (propelled for example by the internet), it is difficult to imagine how we could ever return to the status quo ante, short of a major economic, political, or social crisis.

	War Is the Health of the State by Randolph Bourne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		International politics is a "power politics" because it is a relation of States and that is what States infallibly and calamitously are, huge aggregations of human and industrial force that may be hurled against each other in war.
		In one case it is the drama of the pioneering conquest of the land, of the growth of wealth and the ways in which it was used, of the enterprise of education, and the carrying out of spiritual ideals, of the struggle of economic classes.
		Political philosophy can delight us with fantasy and convince us who need illusion to live that the actual is a fair and approximate copy - full of failings, of course, but approximately sound and sincere - of that ideal society which we can imagine ourselves as creating.

	SSMCS, International Politics: Introduction
		The political situation of the present is one in which the nation-state – the traditional focus of political analysis – is increasingly under pressure from a range of global forces, from trans-national flows of capital to international organisations and the economic and moral orthodoxies they impose.
		International Politics focuses on this changed situation by studying political theory, political institutions and social movements in an international context.
		It is the study of social processes that occur across borders and the attempt to understand what is ‘international.’ As such it is an interdisciplinary subject that draws on traditional political and social theory, international relations, philosophy, history and political economy.
