Kenneth Waltz Quotes

No system of balance functions automatically Picture Quote #1

Each man does seek his own interest, but, unfortunately, not according to the dictates of reason Picture Quote #1

Each state pursues its own interest’s, however defined, in ways it judges best. Force is a means of achieving the external ends of states because there exists no consistent, reliable process of reconciling the conflicts of interest that inevitably arise among similar units in a condition of anarchy Picture Quote #1

Then what explains war among states? Rousseau’s answer is really that war occurs because there is nothing to prevent it Picture Quote #1

War most often promotes the internal unity of each state involved. The state plagued by internal strife may then, instead of waiting for the accidental attack, seek the war that will bring internal peace Picture Quote #1

The transitory interests of royal houses may be advanced in war; the real interests of all people are furthered by the peace Picture Quote #1

The implication of game theory, which is also the implication of the third image, is, however, that the freedom of choice of any one state is limited by the actions of the others Picture Quote #1

States in the world are like individuals in the state of nature. They are neither perfectly good nor are they controlled by law Picture Quote #1
