Political realism, Freud, and human nature in international relations
No full textPolitical realism has enjoyed a renaissance in International Relations (IR). Recent studies have provided insightful accounts of its timeless virtues and philosophical depth. Although the concept of human nature has long been the philosophical basis of realism, it has now become a largely discredited idea. The thesis, Political Realism, Freud, and Human Nature in International Relations, provides an important re-examination of the concept of human nature in realist international-political theory with special reference to one of the truly consequential figures of Western thought: Sigmund Freud. The thesis questions whether human nature is really dead and also asks whether human nature ought to be dead. Examining a variety of theorists from Morgenthau to Mearsheimer commonly invoked as classical and post-classical realism's foremost proponents, the thesis shows that contemporary realism has not eliminated the concept of human nature from its study of world politics. Further, the thesis offers a powerful argument for the necessity of a sophisticated theory of human nature within realism, seeing Freud as offering the most appropriate starting point. This study will interest IR theorists and historians of international thought as well as Freud scholars
Morgenthau: ¿el maquiavelo de la política internacional?
No full textMaquiavelo y Morgenthau respondieron con creces a la pregunta central: ¿en qué se diferencia la política internacional de las relaciones internacionales? Este interrogante fue considerado en las obras principales de los dos autores (El príncipe y Política entre las naciones), quienes establecen que los conceptos se diferencian en que el poder es el elemento esencial tanto en la política doméstica como en la “política internacional”; mientras que por “relaciones internacionales” se entiende todo el cúmulo de asuntos que tiene lugar en el escenario mundial, varios de los cuales no presentan ningún componente de “poder político” y, además, tales acciones se adelantan no sólo por parte del Estado sino también por una multiplicidad de actores que incluye individuos, iglesias, ONG, partidos, empresas. Es, pues, una interesante comparación entre el pensamiento de Nicolás Maquiavelo y el de Hans Morgenthau

A política como tragédia e ação moral na obra de Hans J. Morgenthau
No full textThe main goal of this article is to unveil the role of morality in State action on Classical Realism by revisiting the work of Hans J. Morgenthau. It is argued that Morgenthau’s international political theory is built in a mixed-rule deontology framework, in opposition to strong deontology and utilitarianism ideas. For the author, a statesman may bes prompted by the nature of politics to take morally reprehensive actions but nevertheless has moral responsibility in his agency and cannot get rid of the guilty from its choices. Given the impossibility of the greater good in politics and a statesman awareness of this dilemma, a prudent leader has to choose the lesser evil. By revisiting Morgenthau focusing on the moral aspect of Morgenthau writings, this article seeks to contribute for the specialized literature on traditions of international ethics, and for the recent effort of rereading Classical Realism in International Relations Theory. O objetivo deste artigo é o de desvendar o papel da moralidade na ação estatal no Realismo Clássico a partir de revisita a obra de Hans J. Morgenthau. Argumenta-se que a teoria política proposta pelo autor tem base deontológica mista (ou fraca) e se constrói em oposição àquelas deontológicas fortes e utilitaristas. Nesse contexto, se tem que o estadista em ofício pode ser levado pela natureza da política a adotar ações moralmente condenáveis, mas não se livra da culpa de suas escolhas e possui responsabilidade moral no exercício de sua agência. Na impossibilidade de realizar o bem maior em âmbito político e consciente de não poder fazê-lo, o tomador de decisão prudente deve escolher cursos de ação a partir da lógica do mal menor. Ao revisitar Morgenthau a luz da teoria política internacional destacando o debate sobre ação moral contida em seus escritos, o artigo busca contribuir tanto para literatura especializada em tradições de ética internacional, quanto para o esforço contemporâneo de releitura do Realismo Clássico em meio às teorias de Relações Internacionais.

Una teoría política sobre la ayuda exterior
No full textAlong this work, the author reflects on the foreign aid, its necessity and opportunity ?or not?, and whether it has value by itself. With this purpose, he defines six modalities of foreign aid, as well as their respective consequences and political contents, among them the humanitarian, the foreign aid oriented to economic development ?equivalent currently to development cooperation?, the military or the prestige aid. One of his main conclusions is that the foreign aid, as part of the political weaponry of a nation, must fall into the domain of political action, criticizing the primacy of economists and their protagonist role regarding the management of this aid, to the extent that the ultimate goals of this policy must be the political reinforcement of the donor. In the view of Hans Morgenthau, who doubts about the efficacy in terms of progress and modernization of the economic aid, even being a successful one, the results of this aid are unforeseeable and could be potentially counterproductive, to the extent that they would change necessarily the statu quo ?even provoking a revolution?, being preferable then the prestige aid for its immediate political effects and benefits for the donor.En este fragmento el autor hace una reflexión sobre la ayuda exterior, su necesidad y oportunidad o no, su justificación, y si tiene sentido en sí misma o no. Define para ello seis tipos de ayuda exterior, así como sus consecuencias y contenidos políticos, entre ellas entre ellas la humanitaria, la de desarrollo económico ?que hoy conoceríamos como de cooperación al desarrollo?, la ayuda militar o la ayuda de prestigio. Su conclusión es que la política exterior, como parte del arsenal político de una nación, debe caer en el dominio de la acción política, criticando la preponderancia de los economistas y su papel principal en la gestión de la misma, en la medida en que los objetivos últimos de dicha política deben ser el refuerzo político del país donante. Para Hans Morgenthau, que duda de la eficacia en términos de progreso y modernización de la ayuda económica, incluso en caso de éxito, los resultados de esta ayuda son inciertos y podrían ser potencialmente contraproducentes, en la medida en que cambiarían necesariamente el statu quo ?incluso provocando una revolución?, siendo preferible la ayuda al prestigio por sus efectos políticos inmediatos y beneficios para el donante.
Hans J. Morgenthau´s Turn from International Law to International Relations: A transition affected by History
No full textEste texto aborda el papel que las consideraciones históricas desempeñaron en un movimiento teórico sustancial: el paso que a partir de los años cuarenta se produce desde el Derecho Internacional a las Relaciones Internacionales en tanto que principal disciplina ordenadora del ámbito interestatal. Se tomará a Hans J. Morgenthau como el ejemplo más claro de este movimiento. Al igual que tantos otros intelectuales europeos exiliados en Estados Unidos, el cambio de continente y de contexto académico implicará para Morgenthau el salto del estudio del Derecho al estudio de la Política. Para explicar este movimiento y, en concreto, el peso que la Historia tiene en él, se estructurará el artículo en los siguientes apartados: 1) la formación de Morgenthau como un jurista siempre interesado en la Historia y en las relaciones de poder, fuertemente influido por las teorías de Simmel, Mannheim y Schütz y su determinación situacional del conocimiento; 2) el análisis de su poco conocida obra Scientific Man versus Power Politics (1946) como punto clave del historicismo de Morgenthau; y 3) la crítica a la jurisdicción internacional como punto de ruptura con la Ciencia jurídicaThis paper deals with the role that historical issues had in an outstanding theoretical movement:
the turn that since the forties is performed from International Law to International Relations
as the main organising discipline in the inter-state field. Hans J. Morgenthau will be taken
as the most representative author from this movement. Likewise many other European
intellectuals exiled in the United States, the change of continent scientific environment will
entail a switch for Morgenthau from the study of law to politics. In order to fully understand
this transition and, specifically, the role that History has in it, this article is structured as
follows: 1) the training of Morgenthau as a lawyer interested in History and in power politics,
strongly influenced by the theories of Georg Simmel, Karl Mannheim and Alfred Schütz
and their situational determination of knowledge; 2) the analysis of his little known book
Scientific Man versus Power Politics (1946) as a milestone of Morgenthau´s historicism; and 3) the criticism of international courts as a breaking point with legal scienc
