Kenneth N. Waltz on International Politics - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 632 International Policy/System/State/Waltz: in contrast to the "state" system, the international system does not have a central system-wide authority that stands above the states and could bindingly regulate the relations of the states. This seems paradoxical at first, because the states of the system should strive to guarantee their security by establishing a central authority within the system (1), whose competences included effective means of sanctioning peace criminals. >State, >Peace, >War. Problem: At the level of the international system, there would inevitably be a tension between the "headquarters" and individual states with the greatest potential for power. It follows from this that autonomy or independence, alongside security, are among the primary objectives of state action. >Autonomy. 1.Kenneth N.
