REASONS REGARDING THE WAR IN THE ROMANIAN AND FOREIGN POLITICAL THINKING
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2007, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
As the famous American military-political theorist, John Mearsheimer has said, within the international policy ’’the relations between states are relations of forces” and ’’the history of international relations is the history of the struggle for hegemony”. The realistic paradigm concerning the theory of international relations is strengthened by the genuine material given to analysis by the history of mankind. This shows war as a persistent and important constant of history. Starting from this cruel truth, all of the representative political thinkers, Romanian or foreigners, have tried to put into words a logical explanation and the prevention, when applied, of this controversial social phenomenon. In their philosophies, they described war using an extremely wide range of means, from Hegel’s “force of reason” to Nicolae Iorga’s “tragedy of life”. Concurrently with the evolution of science and the accelerated development of last hour technology, the global society, the forms of manifestation and the ways of fi ghting a war have changed and diversifi ed; yet, this continues to represent a reality of nowadays and world peace remains a signifi - cant desideratum.
