IR theory for lovers: a valentine's guide

Fri, 02/13/2009 - 5:00pm

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. As a public service, I would like to remind FP readers of the important insights that international relations theory can provide for people in love.

To begin with, any romantic partnership is essentially an alliance, and alliances are a core concept on international relations. Alliances bring many benefits to the members (or else why would we form them?) but as we also know, they sometimes reflect irrational passions and inevitably limit each member's autonomy. Many IR theorists believe that institutionalizing an alliance makes it more effective and enduring, but that’s also why making a relationship more formal is a significant step that needs to be carefully considered.

Of course, IR theorists have also warned that allies face the twin dangers of abandonment and entrapment: the more we fear that our partners might leave us in the lurch (abandonment), the more likely we are to let them drag us into obligations that we didn't originally foresee (entrapment). When you find yourself gamely attending your partner’s high school reunion or traveling to your in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner every single year, you’ll know what I mean.

Realists have long argued that bipolar systems are the most stable. So if any of you lovers out there are thinking of adding more major actors to the system, please reconsider. As most of us eventually learn, trying to juggle romantic relationships in a multi-polar setting usually leads to crises, and sometimes to open warfare. It's certainly not good for alliance stability.

IR theory also warns us that shifts in the balance of power are dangerous. There's an obvious warning here: relationships are more likely to have trouble if one partner's status or power changes rapidly. So that big promotion that you both celebrated may be a good thing overall, but it's likely to alter expectations and force you and your partner to make serious adjustments. The same is true if one of you gets laid off. Bottom line: it can take a lot of patience and love to work through a major shift in the balance of power within a relationship.

Even the best relationships have their bumpy moments, of course, because even human beings who love each other deeply can have trouble figuring out what the other person wants and why they are acting as they are. IR theorists have written lots of smart things about misperception, and it's good to keep some of them in mind. We tend to see our own behavior as constrained by our circumstances, for example, while attributing the behavior of others to their own attributes and wants. "I'm doing this because I have to, but he's acting this way because that’s just who he is!" This sort of perceptual bias is potent recipe for conflict spirals, something IR theorists have long warned about. A small disagreement occurs, and each person's attempt to defend their own position starts to look like an aggressive and unjustified attack. And so we discover another core IR concept: escalation.  

I'm hoping a few readers are nodding their heads in agreement at this point.

Which brings me to an especially helpful IR concept: appeasement. The term has been unfairly denigrated since Munich, but it is a critical strategy for preserving any romantic relationship. And if you don't believe me, ask my wife, who made me put this paragraph in.

So maybe learning some IR theory can actually help your love life. If it does, and you're lucky enough to find the right person, and then you might decide you want to institutionalize the relationship by getting married. (This assumes that you're straight, of course, or fortunate enough to live in a part of the world that recognizes the rights of gay people to marry as well).

And then the two of you might also decide to mobilize your combined resources and grow your own alliance network -- i.e., have kids -- either via the traditional method or by adopting. If you do, you'll get to learn about a whole new set of IR concepts, like deterrence, coercion, salami tactics, and overcommitment. But that's another set of problems, and maybe I'll wait till Father's Day to blog about them.

If you reduce the whole human affairs to love affair...

by Grand Sen-or on Fri, 02/13/2009 - 11:41pm

Realists have long argued that bipolar systems are the most stable.

If you reduce the whole human affairs to love affair...then you might be right. But fortunately love affair is just an affair out of many other affairs human-beings involved.

If you look at a natural forest you can't see a bi-polar system dominating the environment but the system is stable and protected her stability thousands of years before some wise guys turn it into Radiata Pine Forest;-> And an insect emerge which this pine doesn't have any defence and wipes her out. Like it is happening to bee colonies in NZ. They have imported Italian bees pushing and marginalizing local bees. Because Italian bees are easy to handle and gives good amount of honey. But then a mite called varroa comes up and wipes out all honey business, leaving the flowers to local bee species;->Think about it again Professor!
Your life does not consist of love affairs only, you have intellectual affairs, business affairs, variety of social affairs etc. by reducing every other type of affair to love affair is not realistic at all.

We all live in a multiplicity of affairs, we try to enrich this multiplicity to live a rich life.

I am not going to ask you the question;->
Which one would you give up first:-> Your IR Theory, your wife or your car?

Have a nice Saint Valentine Day

Grand Sen~or

BTW, did you know that French has a Saint for each day of the year who has a different significance to reflect a different aspect of human nature and soul. So, St Valentine's Day is just a day out of 365 Saint's days which are all important for us.
I guess as a secularist you drop Saint from Saint Valentine to make everyone happy, especially Jews;-)) But I prefer to recognize entities as they are, not as I or others like them to be. You saved the day again Professor. But my job is to express the reality as clearly as possible, to be always on the side of it - to be saved. That is how when I recalled "Saint" I remembered 365 more Saints;->

St. Valentine.....

by Tess on Sun, 02/15/2009 - 3:18pm

"BTW, did you know that French has a Saint for each day of the year who has a different significance to reflect a different aspect of human nature and soul. So, St Valentine's Day is just a day out of 365 Saint's days which are all important for us."

I believe it is not just the French, but all Catholic nations. Yet, I have the perception this was always a rather non-Christian holiday in origin anyway. Some claim to trace its roots to pagan Rome and an attempt to stop a previous celebration by placing a Roman saint on that day, some to the Middle Ages and Chaucer's reference to mating birds during St. Valentine day.

Either way, the man whom the religious celebrate on that day was a martyr. I believe he is said to have been clubbed and beheaded during the reign of Claudius II. Odd combination for a day of "love". Perhaps, dropping the Saint is most apt, as we truly do not celebrate the man or any idea really held by him, but a secular idea of love, anyway. At least with St. Patrick's day, we celebrate Ireland. Which while the Saint, if I remember correctly, was said to be of the Romans that remained in Britain, he did commit himself to the conversion of Ireland, so there is at least some sensical connection between him and Irish identity today. I have never heard any legends that connect any of the martyred Valentines to "love". So, dropping it seems fine, unless you have information I am lacking.

All in all, the article was very charming.

you are right it is a Catholic practice and it is a nice one. I gave the French as an example for I have noticed it in some of their calendars.

But obviously secularists will adopt/assimilate/monopolize this kind of other SPEE's cultural practices to justify and maintain their dominance.

"Any romantic partnership is essentially an alliance."
It's good to acknowledge that our thinking has evolved...used to be that a romantic relationship was seen as a conquest, of the male over the female. If we can make progress in our personal relationships maybe it's not too far-fetched for us to make progress in our international ones as well.

by HB34 on Fri, 02/13/2009 - 8:41pm

I wonder if realists have anything to say about abusive relationships, structures of patriarchy, gender roles, varieties of relationships, etc. Or, do they simply think as most jocks do: partners as accessories to a fuller life for oneself, not as subjects of love, empathy and compassion?

My wife is more than a mere ally, thank you very much!

by Grand Sen-or on Sat, 02/14/2009 - 12:16am

My wife is more than a mere ally, thank you very much!

Professor was talking from a secularist point of view, the only recognized legal point of view. So, he can respond you that he didn't mean to explain personal/individual (in secularist jargon "the religious") status of the relationship. In other words he is talking to secularists. As a Catholic you can take it as he is talking to the air;->>I am sure Jews were feeling the same saying "My wife is the May-pole of our family - after my mother!" something like that;-) And a Muslim might be thinking "My wife/wives! how grateful I am to the God didn't create me alone!" or something like that. Prof. Walt is not talking on those levels, he is talking on assimilation level, thinking that he will make everyone feel happy, he can't qualify his sentences as "from the secularists point of view", because that would be realistic but would spoil the whole game;->It would disclose the rules of the game;->

Abusive relations, structures

by drlake on Sat, 02/14/2009 - 11:02am

Abusive relations, structures of patriarchy, and the like can be understood as manifestations of international hierarchy as postulated by Lenin, Wallerstein, and Dependency theorists. :)

I think some people are taking this a little too seriously . . .

by Ben on Fri, 02/13/2009 - 10:53pm

I believe this was intended with humor, though I do admit, IR theory can be serious business. That being said -

Realists have long argued that bipolar systems are the most stable.

I would have to argue that not all Realists agree on this point. Some argue that a multipolar system is inherently more stable, since it prevents any one power from becoming dominant; on the other hand, Power Transitionists would say that it is preferable to have a hegemon in the system, since when two or more states have nearly balanced levels of power (as in a bipolar or multipolar system) they will be prone to conflict in order to see who will emerge on top.

My point being that Valentine's is for Liberals, who know that relationships are not zero sum games.

Multipolar systems are indeed

by drlake on Sat, 02/14/2009 - 11:04am

Multipolar systems are indeed stable, but only in the sense of the system itself being persistent. They remain that way through periodic wars, which means they are hardly "stable" in the way we'd want a relationship to be. Bipolar systems are more stable in the sense of more peaceful, at least as long as your sample only includes the Cold War.

I think this is stability in

by charli on Sun, 02/15/2009 - 5:49pm

I think this is stability in precisely the way we would want - every relationship I've been in has involved plenty of "wars" or "systemic shocks," moving through which is precisely what makes the relationship healthy - moreso I think than those characterized by a veneer of "peace" - which we all know is really just a euphemism for the "status quo."

thanks

by uzh on Sat, 02/14/2009 - 3:58am

Thanks for this funny story, already made my day (it's 10am here). I had a good laugh.

What I see from your entry and the comments is the following, which I have repeatedly learned over time: realists have humour, most other scholars of IR theory have not.

I think, if you are confident about your positions, you can stand some jokes. But if you fight with self-doubts, you get easily hurt.

This may also be the reason why everyone feels attacked by some realist provocation so easily. But if I consider how misrepresented for example Waltz' arguments get, I would expect him to go really crazy - not seen so far this happened.

I would expect him to go

by Grand Sen-or on Sat, 02/14/2009 - 6:15am

I would expect him to go really crazy

how about you?
are you really going crazy or you are not a realist;->>
if Walt's arguments are misrepresented, he has all the power to correct them. Maybe he is just experimenting the extend of misrepresentations of his arguments and when he doesn't want them to be misrepresented he locks his arguments so that no-one can misrepresent them. I mean why would he go crazy for misrepresented arguments and open a blog to let people to do so unless he is masochist;->>
May bet is Prof. Walt wants to develop his language in such a way that no-one can misrepresent his arguments expressed by it, that is what I would expect from a realist. In other wards if his arguments can be misrepresented then they are not realist arguments. So, from his point of view as a realist there is nothing to go crazy about such misrepresentations. He can just drop them out and try better ones which cannot be misrepresented.
It is not easy to be realist Mate, one must have nerves like stainless-steel;->
Prof. Walt asks for reality, he is going to get it!

Just think about mathematical expressions, can anyone misrepresent a mathematical expression and keep arguing about it?

Suppose a mathematician wrote:
1+1=2

another one trying to misrepresent it wrote:
1+1=10

each one asks to the other:
Prove it!

they prove it and the problem settles:
one's expression belongs to decimal system
and the other's binary.
But ifone cannot prove it, then it is the end of the argument.

But most of the arguments supplied here in this blog belong to different systems. The most common one is to counter argue a theoretical statement with an ordinary language statement. Prof. Walt most of the time talks according to a theory and he get responses according to ordinary language. Both using the same words(symbols) but meaning differently. Those may look like misrepresentations, but they are not. There is a lack of communication between two parties. Also ordinary language users tryingto challenge the theory with ordinary language concepts which is useless from the point of view of the theory user. Most of the time in such cases ordinary language users are not aware of the function of a theory in the language, they are not aware that a theory is in use, therefore they get confused. Prof. Walt isnotvery helpful in such situations, he doesn't have time, so he ignores such arguments. Of course all that doesn't mean that one cannot critisize a theory. But first, one has to be aware of the theory in use and must understand it clearly.

A Cynic's View

by Kyle L on Sat, 02/14/2009 - 9:55pm

Realists may be able to explain INITIAL partnering choices (let's call them "hookups"), but no relationship is going to hold up to a standard expected utility calculation for long. From a realist/rationalist perspective, marriage quickly becomes a suboptimal outcome. After all, wasn't is Mearsheimer who told us that alliances are largely irrelevant because they are only "short-term marriages of convenience"?

Entrapment is a possibility for accounting for long-term relationships, I suppose. But a better explanation is a socialization process that leaves both partners willing or even happy to accept sub-optimality, their preferences having been warped toward new, irrational ends. In other words, and much like everything else in IR or otherwise, these things would simply best be left to the constructivists :-)

A loose generalization...

by Grand Sen-or on Sun, 02/15/2009 - 12:45pm

Mearsheimer who told us that alliances are largely irrelevant because they are only "short-term marriages of convenience"?

I think this is quite a loose generalization. Because the relevance of alliance depends on what it is based on and what is the purpose of it. Suppose you have an arranged marriage with two or more clans come together and decided to execute a marriage contract among a man and woman based on their traditions and other historic, scientific, sacret, star-gazing considerations. Such a marriage is not meant to be short-termed, otherwise methods of arrangement would be improved by experience. But of course one can marry just to get green-card too. In that case you may call it short-term marriage of convenience, but that alliance was relevant, it helped financially to one of the partners and helped socially to the other one. It was relevant for it made an impact in the society. I agree in general contracts have a term, short or long (here I don't ignore the fact of a Catholic Marriage which has no term conceivable, although a dead of one of the partners terminates a Muslim marriage, this is not the case for a Catholic marriage). An alliance's duration doesn't make it relevent/irrelevent. If an alliance even for a short term fulfils its purpose, should be qualified as relevent.
Suppose a muslim man married again to a woman her husband has been killed in a war and there is a shortage of qualified men for her to get a better marriage arrangement. But later on due to immigration such an opportunity arise and the man who married to the woman decides to devorce her to get her married to a better prospect among the immigrants. When we look at it from outside, this may look like a short-term marriage of convenience. But it helped to a social purpose. It prepared a ground for a more durable long term alliance. It fulfiled its purpose, so it was relevant. take another example, a man visits a brothel, pays the Madam gets the session - a short term alliance;-> With no relevence?! T doubt that;->>If the Man is a member of Congress and a candidate for Presidency, Man! he might get in trouble that none would qualify it was an irrelevent alliance. Not even Mearsheimer. But maybe he would argue that he didn't mean such cases are cases of alliance - this is prostitution;->>

Yes when I (Mearsheimer) said:

alliances are largely irrelevant because they are only "short-term marriages of convenience"?

I (Mearsheimer) meant "Alliances are largely irrelevent because they are only short-session sexual exchange with no purpose of procreation."

Voila!
in other words Mearsheimer's concept of "alliance" is useless, you can't even explain one-to-one human relation with it, leave alone to explain IR with another equally useless concept of "state".

happy valentine from china :)

by suhaili on Sun, 02/15/2009 - 5:37am

love this--did smile. and i have a real valentine present to you, walt: VALENTINE itself.

i thought long and hard about the national interest base of ir. i think it's out of date. the loving relationship between two persons of opposite sex may provide the new solution.

in ir, the relationship is a matter of choice--this is of course also true with any given couple. but here's the die or live weighty difference: most people would have to form a liaison with an opposite gender, driven by the unselfish sexual drive. thanks to this drive we are even able to talk about ir and any other human interest topic. so dear walt, i present to you empathy, valentine's twin sister/brother, the other race survival emotion, to be the new base of your ir, to replace the until recently sensible national interest. i'm being serious.

Race survival emotion

by Grand Sen-or on Sun, 02/15/2009 - 4:24pm

race survival emotion, to be the new base of your ir, to replace the until recently sensible national interest. i'm being serious.

yeah but the SATFP's state concept jumbles races even genders to stifle "race survival emotion" and Prof. Walt doesn't want to give up this concept of state. So, he will be deaf to your suggestion. But don't give up, press on, maybe he changes his theory;->

Grand Sen~or

note : as a further suggestion replace "race survival emotion" with "SPEE's survival instinct", not exactly but like a "corporate survival instinct". Of course even sexual drive has close relation with this SPEE's survival instinct.
SPEE's survival instinct involves socio-politico-economic and leadership survivals, by itself a complex survival instinct. When an SPEE get threatened they use what ever is available in their arsenal of SPE. Like IL, they don't have law making and implementing power for their own laws which is denied by the US Constitution but they have other SPE powers to compansate it and they use them. This shows how phenomenally creative Jews are. There are a lot of SPEEs in the US whose law making rights denied which feel threatened to lose their identity, not trusted by the US to share the monopoly of the power of law making. I am sure those SPEEs are closely watching IL's ingenuous struggle for survival. Prof. Walt should invest on that creative power for SPEE's survival instinct and replace the useless "state" with realistic concept of "SPEE". I think he is scared of the Grand Paradigm Shift, I don't blame him;->
BTW, his tackling with IL attracted me to this blog to encourage him further investigate this monumental phenomena.
Keep thinking Mate! You are on the right track;->

I had to remind Prof. Walt this too: He has to change the concept of balance, there are more than one ("threat")element to keep the balance of healthy survival in safety for SPEEs. They have to keep each power they pocess in a healthy balance to survive and healthily interact with other SPEEs - social, political and economic.

Suggestion for new blog-post: "Afghanistan is a lost cause"

by Kenneth Sorensen on Mon, 02/16/2009 - 7:47am

Facts brought to you from the free world

Americans congratulated themselves in Oct/Nov 2001 for having bombed the socalled 'Taleban' (which is a conglomerate of all sorts of different people, among them staunch nationalists who believes that Afghanistan should be for Afghans only, religious fundamentalists and people who have seen family and clan-members killed by indiscriminatory American bombardments from high altitudes, and promised revenge) and forced them to abandon their forward positions (including Kabul) and retreat to their stronghold in the South (including Helmand). Socalled 'Taleban' and the Northern Alliance had been in a stalemate for years - indeed a few years earlier it was the latter who had controlled Kabul, so it was just a question of pushing on the back of the Northern Alliance, in order to make the socalled 'Taleban' to give up their forward positions.

Camps removed allready in 2001

The really great strategic, and incomprehensible, blunder happened in 2005 when the Americans decided to attack socalled 'Taleban' in their stronghold. This happened at a time when they had a lot else to see to in Iraq, which was why NATO was brought in in 2006, in order to share the responsibility for US strategic blunders and allow the US to focus on Iraq.

It is so stupid - to actually try to conquer and control all of Afghanistan. It is not a British thought - cause they have tried something similar two times in the past. It is not a Russian thought, because they too have tried. It is not German - a country which have recent and grave experiences with determined guerilla-fighters (in Eastern Europe and Yugoslavia during WW2 - the latter place they never controlled). It is not French, who have first-hand experience of heated Arab nationalism in Algeria, a country they had to abandon in 1962 - and which have connotations to Afghanistan, also due to the presence of Arab resistance-fighters and suicidebombers in this country.*

Only in America - the youngest country of the five here mentioned - could such an impossible thought have originated.

But look what they have done. Everybody talks about that NATO 'cannot afford to loose'. Surely it will not look good on the CV, but loosing is what they are going to do. What then to think of the ones that are responsible for this mistake?

____________

*)Incidentially these same experiences were also the reason why they refused to participate in the Invasion of Iraq in 2003, whatever Neocons smeared at the time and refused to eat French Fries (). Jacques Chirac was in Algeria as a young lietenant and never forgot. He tried to convince Bush and Lord Blair of Kut al-Amara of the dangers of invading an Arab country, but they knew better. Particularly Bush, whose only experiences with the military was training flights over Texas, knew better.

Strategies pursued have Neo-con written all over them

by Kenneth Sorensen on Mon, 02/16/2009 - 8:02am

Why are neo-cons so pre-occupied (sorry for the pun) with Afghanistan? Cause in their twisted minds they need to have US troops close to Pakistan, which is the only islamic country with nukes, and therefore a potential threat to Israel.

Again we see here a prime example of the way the colony in Arabia - with an inhabitable size of Delaware and the adjacent Cecil County in Maryland - constantly are twisting U.S. Foreign Policy, and that American soldiers has to die every single day in order to satisfy Israels strategic interests.

Nobody asks if having US troops in Afghanistan is making Pakistan more or less stable than it was before. The Neocons are Amateurs, political driven lobbyists for a foreign state - and as Walt & Mearheimer have shown, they are not even good at that, but they are harming Israel as well.

A fascinating theory

by h.kim on Mon, 02/16/2009 - 9:50am

While reading this post, I couldn't stop laughing. I would say this is the most brilliant idea that I've heard in IR. Also it shows us how insightful the IR scholars are. Probably it can be a very good guide to IR theory for those who have difficulties in understanding this messy International Politics.

International Relations

by khankhan on Tue, 02/24/2009 - 10:13am

Professor is right to say about the romantic relationship. But he talks about the expansion of the alliance in the form of having kids. The statement is correct in the context of the world's international system but there is something ambiguous to say about the durability in romantic relationship. How can we apply the romantic relationship of two persons to bedurable? International Politics is can be durable in the form of two superpowers but in the case of personal relationship, I think it is somewhat different.
