Key Points
- According to Kissinger, the United States would benefit from adopting a pragmatic approach to diplomacy similar to that of Europe.
- The classic European diplomatic tradition known as "realpolitik," "raison d'etat and "balance of power" which emerged from the 17th through the 19th century, form the foundation of Kissinger's view of the world.
- Kenneth N. Waltz, a realism scholar, provides a fundamental understanding of the nature of interstate conflict in Man, the State and War, first published in 1959.
- Waltz makes a significant distinction between three "images" of the causes of war: those that place the blame on particular leaders or human nature; those rooted in internal state dynamics; and those relating to the design of the international order.
- Waltz maintained that anarchy in the international system, where there is no recognised body to settle disputes between sovereign states, is the fundamental cause of war.
- Amitav Acharya's book After Liberal Hegemony: The Advent of a Multiplex World Order describes a "multiplex world" in which the liberal order's tenets remain but are absorbed into a complex of other, interconnected international organisations.
- The new global order is multiplex rather than multipolar.
- In a world where technology and rogue actors have upended conventional notions of state authority, The Future of Power by Joseph S. Nye, Jr. explores what it means to be aggressive and effective.
- He demonstrates how power resources are changing in the digital era and how intelligent power tactics must take into account factors other than a nation's military might.
