9. In practice, however, the Politburo has become the dominant body over all Soviet domestic and foreign policy. highway, main road - a major road for any form of motor transport. In previous volumes I have dealt with the nature and use of a field concept in philosophy and the sciences (Part I of The Dynamic Psychological Field), and have applied it to They give meaningful-causal understanding to diverse human behaviors and simplify our apperception of them. Returning now to my initial questions about who are the actors in the international field, the answer is that there are four kinds: three types of 2: The Conflict Helix). For me, neither his "nation" or "state" has group identity with distinguishable authoritative actors and roles, and therefore cannot independently act in international relations. The state's agent, the government, is limited by human rights standing above government. All help define and knit together international society. The personality of the state is not a fact whose truth or falsehood is a matter for argument. "Capability" involves resources or abilities which can be applied to satisfy interests. This assertion is subsequently formalized as a proposition. In each of the recorded cases, the power holder could have made a different decision from the one he made." All help define and knit together international society. Its dimensions define world culture, stratification (wealth, power and prestige) and classes. 2: The Conflict Helix, and especially Figure 31.2. 14. As Daniel Douglas says, an interstate compact is an agreement between/among two or more states, using agreeing on a common set of regulations or requirements. It was made for the public to eliminate/remove unsafe roads, traffic jams, and … When the number of actors increases (there are more than a hundred states in the United Nations), that of the chief actors does not increase proportionally, and sometimes does not increase at all. "What baffles [the observer ] is the massive continuity of American policy--despite the innumerable verbal clashes, the promises of drastic reform, the temporary oscillations a-round the main trends, and the headlines announcing crises and bankruptcy. It is only by describing the world system as it operates that there can be any understanding of it: and then it becomes clear why mentally healthy leaders sometimes appear to respond abnormally in the international system, why seemingly moral people take seemingly immoral decisions, why mild and humble members of the leading elite appear aggressive. 2: The Conflict Helix). Each of these images provides a causal-functional, contextual understanding of Soviet behavior. Moreover, the concept's mathematical framework has been developed at the psychological level (Part III of The Dynamic Psychological Field), at the social level (Chapter 11 of Vol. England has by now become a near socialistic society, with government power dominating over social groups and the individual. Tourists, migrants, foreign students, the international jet set, exemplify such interpersonal Therefore, from a complex of authorities ensues a complex of state-actions through complex political and organizational processes.14 All this stems from the Treaty of Münster, October 24, 1648, which along with the Treaty of Osnabrüeck made the Peace of Westphalia. Finally, there are the various intergovernmental and nonintergovernmental organizations, including the United Nations, which have legal identity in international relations. Of course, all this is legal fiction that has evolved among diverse societies. While one may refer to the policy, or commitment, or conflict, of the United States, while meaning the policies, commitments, and conflicts of a specific elite,12 we should keep in mind that at all times individuals are acting in terms of their political, bureaucratic, societal balances of powers. 13. An attitude becomes transformed into an interest when a connected need is stimulated. And this at the point of a gun, for if you do not turn your income over to the tax collector, your property will be forcefully confiscated and you may be imprisoned. Of the few remaining today, most in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is a good example. (Statement of Secretary Kissinger before the Senate Subcommittee on African Affairs of the Foreign Relations Committee, January 29, 1976). And by violence and war.25 Thus, any authoritative actions of a state's governmental elite against any citizen or group or another state is part of interstate relations. This control by the state and the complex of relations between the diverse international actors can be made more coherent by dividing international relations into interstate, intersocietal, and interpersonal. For the development of the concept, see Part VI of Vol. 2. The latter would include, for example, multinational corporations with foreign subsidiaries, the Catholic church, or international professional associations. It is the complex of the international relations between these actors and their group or personal attributes which define the international field. Both the United States and Soviet Union are sensate cultures; early nineteenth century Japan, precommunist China, and contemporary Saudi Arabia were or are ideational. In an ideational culture--a traditional, group dominated, society--the sphere of individual power is small, as shown in Figure 3.1. The sphere of state power is the sphere of coercion, threats, force. 13. Moreover, there are the invisible nets of travelling, transacting, communicating scientists, academics, artists, athletes, and businessmen, whose interests and activities transcend state boundaries. We note two super powers in the world system of 1950, at most five or six great powers, actual or potential. 2: The Conflict Helix) and field. In the pure antifield, membership by the obey-class is also coerced, as exemplified by prisons, concentration camps, draftees in the Army, and communist states (where those attempting to leave without permission may be shot, and if captured, imprisoned). But this does not assume a rational process model, with its assumption of the state represented by a single, rationally choosing, decision maker. But, virtually all the foreign relations of a totalitarian state are controlled by the state, including much of the foreign relations of what would be the autonomous international relations of groups and individuals in libertarian societies. It took 17 years to create and fund for the project. I am using spontaneous to mean uncommanded and unmade, with the social meaning given by Hayek (1973), particularly in his chapter 2 discussion of two kinds of order: made and grown (spontaneous). In an ideational culture--a traditional, group dominated, society--the sphere of individual power is small, as shown in Figure 3.1. The second sphere of power is that of social groups (the family, church, corporation, institution, and so on), and the third is that of the individual's personal interests. The United States government's efforts to construct a national network of highways began on an ad hoc basis with the passage of the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916, which provided $75 million over a five-year period for matching funds to the states for the construction and improvement of highways. From the word itself “inter-national”, means it among the nations. The relations between states were the focus of my attention in discussing the international society in Chapter 2. Most social groups are appendages of the state, and those that are independent have little autonomy. 2: The Conflict Helix). To therefore say a state behaves is to say that a complex of authorities acts within a direction delineated by an internal and external structure of expectations. to expectations and behavior (Part III of The Dynamic Psychological Field), social behavior (Part III of Vol. For me, neither his "nation" or "state" has group identity with distinguishable authoritative actors and roles, and therefore cannot independently act in international relations. Briefly, an interest is an energized attitude, which has the form "in these circumstances I want to do x with y." Abnormal psychology, game-theory, value judgments and moral responses then appear to be immediately relevant to international studies. Thus, some see the foreign policy, actions, and capabilities of Soviet rulers as defensive, seeking security, and traditionally Russian; others see them as aggressive, driven by the communist ideology, and seeking world hegemony. The relations between states were the focus of my attention in discussing the international society in Chapter 2. Not more than a century ago the traditional state and its authoritative society used to be the most prevalent form in international relations. 2: The Conflict Helix, I relate this distinction to the exchange, authoritative and coercive types of society. In substantial measure, they are the basis of one of the propositions set out in this book (Vol. Their authoritative power orders social relations within an ideational culture.24 Government conforms to fundamental principles and traditions, and is often controlled by a family or clan line. 12. decision and work in the prescribed and accepted ways for its change. Throughout, an interest will have the precise psychological meaning I gave it in (Chapter 20 of The Dynamic Psychological Field), and social implications given it in (Volume 2, 1976: Sections 19.6 of Chapter 19 and passim in Vol. Therefore, from a complex of authorities ensues a complex of state-actions through complex political and organizational processes.14 According to CPSU rules, the "supreme organ" is the Party Congress, which is convened by its Central Committee every four years. The Central Committee, which is ostensibly elected by each Party Congress, elects its own members to its Politburo. naked power of the de facto sovereign. This creates a basic asymmetry in the international relations between libertarian or welfare-liberal states and totalitarian ones, which can be readily seen from Figure 3.2. (Mangone, 1954: 31). Their data are cooperative and conflictful events, and therefore do not take into account cooperative flows (trade, student movements, tourists, and so on). A freeway is a kind of road intended for safer high-speed operation of automobiles through the exclusion of at-grade junctions and they are usually separated by a minimum of two lanes and a maximum of four lanes. For example, the city governments of Honolulu and Hiroshima have established official relationships, but these do not represent or involve the American-Japanese national governments, and therefore are not interstate relations. I am using spontaneous to mean uncommanded and unmade, with the social meaning given by Hayek (1973), particularly in his chapter 2 discussion of two kinds of order: made and grown (spontaneous). 26. Throughout, an interest will have the precise psychological meaning I gave it in (Chapter 20 of The Dynamic Psychological Field), and social implications given it in (Volume 2, 1976: Sections 19.6 of Chapter 19 and passim in Vol. Automated Highway System is an example of a large scale, 111ulti-agent complex dy­namical system. They are responsible for official actions in their name; they can enter into treaties and make war; they have rights; they have defined territories and people. 2: The Conflict Helix). the interstate system is the political side of capitalism, not an analytically autonomous system, and its survival is dependent on the operation of the institutions which are associated with the capital-accumulation process. 27. 2: The Conflict Helix); What gives this complex coherence is a structure of foreign policies, alliances, and treaties determined at the highest authoritative level; the internal balance of powers within which authorities are imbedded; and the roles of all authorities that are framed by the state's geography, economic development, political system, culture, and so on. It is the first time that the United States has failed to respond to Soviet military moves outside their immediate orbit. It is the first time that the United States has failed to respond to Soviet military moves outside their immediate orbit. Travel was inexpensive after World War II and 6000 cars went through the town daily on Highway 301 headed toward Florida. Statesmen act towards goals (interests) in a context of these multiple balances; they "speak out of an environment" (Sprout and Sprout, 1962); they are restrained by a complex of rules they implicitly accept; they have finely tuned expectations about the behavior of others; they approach issues gingerly lest less good the state, by Rousseau's standards, the more important the first The same analysis of the state as actor applies to the group: the actions of group-authorities form a pattern within a direction given by the group hierarchy and policies. It started on June 29, 1956 and is about to complete 60 years. that in the long run it is to their advantage to go along with the national Its dimensions define world culture, stratification (wealth, power and prestige) and classes. Thus, if anything, they overstate formal state-to-state interactions. 4: War, Power, Peace) that international relations are more violent, more warlike, as interstate relations overspread and permeate all. To picture this, consider first the three major types of state-societies shown at the ends of the triangle in Figure 3.1.20 For understanding international relations, there are three spheres of power in states. An interest is linked to basic human needs through a lattice of interconnected attitudes and (if the attitudes are energized) interests. They may have a legal identity within domestic law (as does the corporation or church), or within domestic law be extralegal (as the Palestine Liberation Organization), or illegal (as are terrorist organizations). Moreover, totalitarian state-societies are future-directed and materialist. Thus, a violent clash between several thousand men on Damansky (or Chenpao) Island on the River Ussuri in March 15, 1969, becomes understandable as a border clash between Soviet and Chinese frontier guards--as a manifestation of the Sino-Soviet conflict. Thus, the international field is a complex of individuals acting in different international capacities and roles, representing different international groups, and interacting at different international levels.17 What provides most coherence to this complex is the state, which in international law takes precedence over (can command) all other organizations, at least within its boundaries. Authoritative decisions require implementation by subordinates; decisions must filter down the chain of command; lower level officials may veto by inaction or alter the decision. 2: The Conflict Helix), and society and culture (Parts IV and VIII of Vol. He dealt separately with locations of people, nation, state, and government within his analytic field. less good the state, by Rousseau's standards, the more important the first Externally, states are fields of expression.16 The complex of actions of a complex of authorities, the complex of interests, capabilities and wills, and the complex of state attributes, give the state a behavioral direction and character that define what we mean by Soviet intentions, Chinese behavior, the Japanese attitude, American credibility, and so on. 19. The state is still not a living human being; it has no real personality; it does not behave; you cannot kick it. 2: The Conflict Helix) for this concept's formulation and grounding in the literature. Consequently, there is constant clamor for change." 2: The Conflict Helix) for this concept's formulation and grounding in the literature. See also Alger (1977) (Mangone, 1954: 31). 2: The Conflict Helix) and field. what is mainly military) power is only one type. 22. 2: The Conflict Helix). 4: War, Power, Peace REFERENCES Thus, the interstate relations of a totalitarian state compose nearly all its relations, while those of a libertarian state would be of small scope compared to societal and individual relations. And so are pirates, plane hijackers, and dope smugglers who cross international boundaries. Moreover, the concept's mathematical framework has been developed at the psychological level (Part III of The Dynamic Psychological Field), at the social level (Chapter 11 of Vol. Only the latter can legally wield coercive power on behalf of the state. We have seen explanations from religion to love throughout history. All states are, more or less, antifields15 from the perspective of international relations--they are organizations whose elite have goals, foreign policies to achieve these goals, and an establishment (a complex of state organizations) to articulate these policies. His distinction is similar to my antifield (Chapter 22 in Vol. While one may refer to the policy, or commitment, or conflict, of the United States, while meaning the policies, commitments, and conflicts of a specific elite,12 we should keep in mind that at all times individuals are acting in terms of their political, bureaucratic, societal balances of powers. England has by now become a near socialistic society, with government power dominating over social groups and the individual. However, the Stalin Constitution also established through Article 126 that the Communist Party (CPSU) "is the leading core of all organizations of the working people, both public and private," and this dominance of the CPSU has been maintained in the just approved Brezhnev Constitution. This includes nonnational governments, such as of cities. Its medium consists of international meanings, values, and norms. We were driving along Interstate 280, toward my home. But statesmen are not the only actors, nor other statesmen the only concern. Individuals have no rights above the state; their daily lives are dictated, regulated, or channelled by the state-elite. citizens with the government's formulation of foreign policy is complete. My view of states is nominalist, rather than methodological holist (Section 33.4 of Chapter 33 of Vol. Mansbach, Ferguson, and Lampert (1976: 275, italics omitted) systematically analyzed the behavior of state and nonstate actors in the Middle East, Western Europe, and Latin America, 1948-1972. NOTES In other words, the international order is sewn together by diverse and cross-cutting balances of social powers.5 The Vietnam war is a good example of how a domestic balance of powers underlies policy, even that of war. 16. The SmartPath sim­ulation environment has been … At the state level military capability is obviously important, as are economic, technological, and political capabilities. Dissenters within the state are carried along by two Seated in this medium, its forces are generated by interests.2 And its dynamics comprise the conflict helix. Similarly, the complex field of actions of authorities within a complex of state attributes is given perceptual and cognitive coherence as the Brezhnev Doctrine, NATO, American economic aid to India, or an American presidential campaign. Like states and other groups composing the international society, international organizations are legal fictions represented by authorities who act on their behalf, usually administering rules and regulations governing state, group, and individual international relations. 21. It has a command structure--a clear class structure dividing members into those who command and obey--and task-oriented goals according to which the organization is constructed and commands given. Externally, states are fields of expression.16 The complex of actions of a complex of authorities, the complex of interests, capabilities and wills, and the complex of state attributes, give the state a behavioral direction and character that define what we mean by Soviet intentions, Chinese behavior, the Japanese attitude, American credibility, and so on. Thus reference to the Soviet government or its governing elite is to this dual structure; reference to the top governing elite is to the members of the Politburo. In other words, the international field is delineated by the behavior and attributes of the different actors. In any case, each group 2: The Conflict Helix) and field. 2: The Conflict Helix), and society and culture (Parts IV and VIII of Vol. Second, there is the nonstate group, or group for short, which is involved in international relations or whose organization is cross-national. Included has been opportunity to observe the workings of power. Thus reference to the Soviet government or its governing elite is to this dual structure; reference to the top governing elite is to the members of the Politburo. When the number of actors increases (there are more than a hundred states in the United Nations), that of the chief actors does not increase proportionally, and sometimes does not increase at all. They are ordered by coercive power. All help define and knit together international society. Most influenced by the liberal philosophers (Sir John Harrington, John Locke, Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, and John Stuart Mill), England most exemplified a libertarian state in the nineteenth century. Later, the requirement was changed to a … International violence is shaped by and a consequence of state power.26 "To deny personality to the state is just as absurd as to assert it. consideration is sufficient; and in the ultimate case the agreement of the But, virtually all the foreign relations of a totalitarian state are controlled by the state, including much of the foreign relations of what would be the autonomous international relations of groups and individuals in libertarian societies. Of course, all this is legal fiction that has evolved among diverse societies. Thus, in 1975 Congress defeated attempts by President Ford and Secretary Kissinger to provide 28 million in military aid (in addition to $32 million covertly given by the CIA) to the two non-Marxist independence movements fighting against Agostinho Neto's Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), which was ultimately supported by 12,000-22,000 Cuban troops and large Soviet aid. The 1. Of greatest foreign policy relevance are acts and actions, which are always purposive choices (whether personally value maximizing is a wholly subjective matter). Statesmen act towards goals (interests) in a context of these multiple balances; they "speak out of an environment" (Sprout and Sprout, 1962); they are restrained by a complex of rules they implicitly accept; they have finely tuned expectations about the behavior of others; they approach issues gingerly lest For example, the actions of each depended on information and intelligence channelled through bureaucratic layers. In substantial measure, they are the basis of one of the propositions set out in this book (Vol. Tourists, foreign students, migrants are the most obvious, but also those who correspond with foreigners, watch foreign movies, read foreign books, or purchase foreign goods are part of international relations. (Carr, 1964, 148-149). 4. Moreover, totalitarian state-societies are future-directed and materialist. But, people are still acting in the framework of and in reference to legal fictions. By the Soviet Constitution, the Council is the highest executive and administrative organ of the state. One is that of the (national) government, which in all states is the coercive force monopolizing sphere of states. All this stems from the Treaty of Münster, October 24, 1648, which along with the Treaty of Osnabrüeck made the Peace of Westphalia. 4: War, Power, Peace): power, ultimately, is personal. 19. Tourists, migrants, foreign students, the international jet set, exemplify such interpersonal To therefore say a state behaves is to say that a complex of authorities acts within a direction delineated by an internal and external structure of expectations. Although, therefore, international relations are interstate, intersocietal, and interpersonal, the scope of these relations depends on the type of state. The state is obviously a candidate for actor. But this does not assume a rational process model, with its assumption of the state represented by a single, rationally choosing, decision maker. Indeed, who, more specifically, are the actors in the international field? (Original production of Hallogallo (1972) by Klaus Dinger, Michael Rother and Connie Plank). "What baffles [the observer ] is the massive continuity of American policy--despite the innumerable verbal clashes, the promises of drastic reform, the temporary oscillations a-round the main trends, and the headlines announcing crises and bankruptcy. For the development of the concept, see Part VI of Vol. See Chapters 19, 20 and 21 in Vol. It is what international lawyers have called 'the postulated nature' of the state. Remembering this will help avoid the tendency to treat the morality of states as different from that of individuals, and to ascribe responsibility for actions and events to states, rather than to the human policy makers and actors. And relations among members of the world society comprise multiple and overlapping local, regional, and international expectations dependent on the interests, capabilities,4 and credibilities (wills) of the parties involved. [Added in 1998: for the most recent evidence of this, see Power Kills.] Returning now to my initial questions about who are the actors in the international field, the answer is that there are four kinds: three types of The church, the caste, the tribe, the clan, or the family legitimately controls society through their adherence and representation of widely prevalent customs and norms. For full reference to the book and the list of its contents in hypertext, click note [13]. See Chapters 19, 20 and 21 in Vol. Seated in this medium, its forces are generated by interests.2 And its dynamics comprise the conflict helix. In previous volumes I have dealt with the nature and use of a field concept in philosophy and the sciences (Part I of The Dynamic Psychological Field), and have applied it to Here, I have in mind multinational corporations (having foreign subsidiaries), companies with foreign investments, religious organizations like the Catholic church, associations like the International Political Science Association, political groups like the Palestine Liberation Organization, and terrorists like the Che Guevera Internationalist Brigade. In observing the behavior of state authorities in international relations, we make sense out of the complex in the same way we do a painting. Tim Fisher has 30+ years' professional technology support experience. 22. Some instances are recorded here.

In 1994, the US Department of Transportation launched the National Highway System Consortium (NAHSC). In the pure antifield, membership by the obey-class is also coerced, as exemplified by prisons, concentration camps, draftees in the Army, and communist states (where those attempting to leave without permission may be shot, and if captured, imprisoned). Consequently, there is constant clamor for change." state, or, we can now add, the more nationalistic, the more the second Inter- is a common prefix that means between or among groups. Less obvious is moral (as of the Catholic church) or ideological (as of the Soviet Union and China representing two communist creeds) capability. This includes nonnational governments, such as of cities. The elite have a right to command and apply sanctions by virtue of the group's law norms. At the state level military capability is obviously important, as are economic, technological, and political capabilities. The structure of international systems is always oligopolistic. " interstate - one of the system of highways linking major cities in the 48 contiguous states of the United States. The welfare-liberal state is so shown in Figure 3.1 Although hierarchi­cal decomposition helps to reduce the complexity, still the system can not be completely analyzed because of its hybrid multi-agent character. 2: The Conflict Helix. At this point, therefore, I will assume that the field concept has been given sufficient exposition and justification.
