Realist Thought and the Nation-State

It uses the centrality of power in realism as a starting point to claim, contrary to conventional wisdom about realism, that for realists the state is better understood not as a political unit outside history but rather as a manifestation of power unfixed in time.

Foloseste centralitatea puterii in realism ca punct de plecare pentru a pretinde, contrar intelepciunii conventionale despre realism, ca pentru realisti statul este mai bine inteles nu ca o unitate politica in afara istoriei, ci mai degraba ca o manifestare a puterii nefixate in timp.
