Internationalism is the view that institution-building and peaceful cooperation will make peace and security prevail in a system of independent states. This book examines this controversial topic and discusses whether such a view is realistic or whether international relations are typically characterised by tension and war.Kjell Goldmann seeks to examine the plausibility of internationalism under present-day conditions. A theory of internationalism is outlined and is shown to have two dimensions: one coercive (to enforce the rules and decisions of international institutions) and one accommodative (to avoid confrontation by means of mutual understanding and compromise). Problematic features of the theory are then considered in detail: the assumption that all international cooperation tends to inhibit war, and the tension inherent in the joint pursuit of coercion and accommodation.

The tension between nationalism and internationalism has been a major feature of world politics since the end of the Cold War. Based on a Nobel symposium, this collection brings together an international selection of acclaimed authors from a wide variety of academic disciplines. The book combines focused case-studies and more theoretically based material to examine critically the post-Cold War political landscape. Subjects covered include:* changing interpretation of the nation state and nationalism* the growing prominence of transnational organisations* technological changes in information, communication and transport* multiculturalism and citizenship*ethnicity and religious identity in African, Indian, Bosnian and Polish nationalism* the growing global significance of Islam.

Assume that a nation is pursuing a given foreign policy and that we are concerned with the way in which it will act in the future. We may want to make a forecast--but then to what extent is the present policy of a nation a valid guide to its future behavior? Or we may want to influence the nation to change its course--can we succeed? In other words, will the policy change or persist in the face of new conditions or negative feedback? Kjell Goldmann identifies the factors that may have an impact on whether a specific foreign policy is likely to endure or to change and develops them into a theory of foreign policy stability. He then uses this theory to explore the reasons why West German-Soviet detente during the 1970s proved to be more enduring than the improvement in relations between the United States and the Soviet Union. Finally, he outlines a hypothetical scenario for a fully successful process of detente stabilization and examines the extent to which this scenario is realistic. The book ends with some thought about how to conduct a policy aimed at stable detente with an adversary.Originally published in 1988.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Den goda medborgaren i demokratin är kritisk och självständig, men samtidigt ska vi fungera tillsammans och åstadkomma gemensamma resultat. Med kritisk individualism ska vi forma ett gemensamt samhälle. I Individualistisk gemenskap diskuteras sju exempel på denna paradox.Kan kritisk självständighet förenas med partipolitik? Hur ska vi, var och en för sig, handla moraliskt i gemensamma samhällsfrågor? Hur starkt är motsatsförhållandet mellan principen om varje folks självbestämmande och varje nations suveränitet, å ena sidan, och övertygelsen att fred förutsätter alla individers lika värde och alla gränsers öppenhet, å den andra? Kan vissa ståndpunkters hegemoniska ställning godtas trots demokratins behov av åsikters fria konkurrens?Vilka krav bör ställas på aktualitetsjournalistiken för att den ska ge oss en gemensam grund och samtidigt främja vår kritiska självständighet? Hur kan vetenskapens behov av både självsvåldigt kreativa individualister och inspirerande gemensamma miljöer tillgodoses? Är en etnisk identitet en källa till rikedom, ett hinder för självständig utveckling, eller oviktig?

Vad förändras och vad är sig likt? stormakterna? självbestämmanderätten? FN? väljarna? mångkulturen? internationalismen? suveräniteten? dystopierna?
