Hans J. Morgenthau, the “Marginal Man” in International Relations Hans J. Morgenthau, the “marginal man” in International Relations. A “ Weltanschauungsanalyse” Thesis submitted by Felix Johannes Rösch for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Newcastle University School of Geography, Politics, and Sociology April 2011 Source: Manuscript Division, Library of Congress ‘Exactly the same life all-over again, only different’ – Fernando Pessoa ‘Be a stout soldier, a faithful guardian, and an incorruptible judge; if summoned to bear witness in some dubious and uncertain cause, though Phalaris himself should bring up his bull and dictate to you a perjury, count it the greatest of all sins to prefer life to hon- our, and to lose, for the sake of living, all that makes life worth having . The man who merits death is already dead, though he dine off a hundred Lucrine oysters, and bathe in a whole cauldron of Cosmus' essences’ – Juvenal ii Abstract This thesis about the German-American political scientist Hans J. Morgenthau inves- tigates in the development of his Weltanschauung . It grew out of a discomfort with structuralist and post-structuralist interpretations of Morgenthau’s thought which are distorted, curtate, and/or selective. This Weltanschauungsanalyse contributes to the un- derstanding of Morgenthau and his oeuvre in three distinctive ways and negotiates hith- erto existing shortcomings. First, it provides a panoptic rather than selective reading by considering all of Morgenthau’s major published and unpublished writings. It is, second, unifying rather than segregative in the sense that it reflects all aspects of Morgenthau’s thought and sets it into relation with each other. Finally, it is inclusive rather than exclu- sive meaning that the contexts in which Morgenthau developed his Weltanschauung are considered. This Weltanschauungsanalyse accentuates three dimensions in Morgenthau’s thought which are of relevance for contemporary theorising in International Relations. First, Morgenthau promoted a normative concept of power which is not to be confounded with violence, but to be considered as a group-dynamic element enabling to actively create a socio-political life world. Second, Morgenthau was one of the first IR-scholars to emphasise the conditionality of knowledge and political order, which makes his Weltanschauung a rich source for arguing that socio-political life is constructed and rea- son is limited as it enables to question “grand theories”. Finally, studying Morgenthau’s Weltanschauung concedes an important societal role to scholarship in the sense of dis- sidence . It is a sceptical appraisal of the socio-political status quo while being commit- ted to a humanist normativity. To achieve this contribution to the current discourse on Morgenthau and elucidate his relevance for contemporary International Relations, this thesis applies Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of field and habitus. It proceeds by, first, elaborating the field of Continental iii European intellectuals of the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries in which Morgenthau’s thought was formed. Based upon its findings it is possible to dissect Morgenthau’s Weltanschauung into its constitutive parts: ontology, epistemology, and political agency. Material for this analysis was procured in the Library of Congress, the Bodleian Library, the Hoover Institution, the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, and the Archive for Christian-Democratic Policy of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. iv To Christa and Heinz Rösch, for everything and in memoriam Hilde and Walter Reisewitz v Acknowledgements This doctoral thesis has been an intellectual stretch and revelation for me. Although it is a study of the history of international political thought, I had to venture into the fields of sociology, political theory, jurisprudence, philosophy, modern history, and even art history. Therefore, although this thesis bears only my name, without continuous inspiring intellectual discussions and encouragement it could not have been written. My heartfelt gratitude goes first and foremost to my supervisors at the Newcastle University, Prof. Dr. Hartmut Behr and Dr. Ian O’Flynn. They tirelessly read numerous drafts and provided excellent comments and stimulating guidance throughout my thesis, being there for me as supervisors and as friends. I would also like to thank other mem- bers of the Department of Politics who offered comments on my thesis during the New Voices Seminar Series and Prof. Behr’s supervisory colloquium. I would also like to thank the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, in particular my advisers Dr. Renate Kremer and Dr. Rita Thiele, for their financial and ideational support over the last three years. I feel gratitude that the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung supported my thesis, although I did my doctorate in the United Kingdom. This showed me that Euro- pean Integration can become reality if it rests on peoples’ active will. Furthermore, in this context I am grateful for the initial support of Prof. Dr. Antonius Liedhegener (University Luzern), Prof. Dr. Torsten Oppelland (Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena), and Dr. Kai M. Schellhorn, formerly an organiser of the Munich Security Conference. Without their support, I would not have been able to commence my work. Furthermore, I was fortunate enough to further my perspective on International Rela- tions while being a visiting fellow at the Center for Transatlantic Relations at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University in Washington and the Kansai University in Osaka. Regarding the former fellowship, I am indebted to Prof. Dr. Daniel Hamilton for giving me the opportunity to work in one of vi the leading think tanks. Concerning my fellowship in Japan, I am thankful to the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) for awarding me their Summer Program Scholarship and giving me the opportunity to do research in Japan as well as the Tokyo- office of the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD), most notably Dr. Holger Finken and Sabine Yokoyama. Most of all, however, my heartfelt gratitude goes to Prof. Chieko Kitagawa Otsuru for hosting me at Kansai University and showing me that eruditeness is primarily a philanthropic endeavour. I would also like to thank the staff of the following archives and libraries since with- out their support I would not have been able to acquire all the primary resources about Morgenthau which solidified my interpretation of his Weltanschauung : the Library of Congress, the Bodleian Library in Oxford, the Library and Archives of the Hoover Institution in Stanford, the Archive for Christian-Democratic Policy of the Konrad- Adenauer-Stiftung in St. Augustin, and the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève in Paris. Moreover, I would like to thank several individuals who provided me with feedback on my work during various stages of my research project. Within this context I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Marco Cesa (Johns Hopkins University), Prof. Dr. Christoph Frei (University St. Gallen), Prof. Dr. Bettina Koch and Prof. Dr. Yannis A. Stivachtis (Virginia Tech), Dr. Hartmut Mayer (Oxford University), Prof. Yutaka Miyashita (Nii- gata University of International and Information Studies), Dr. Seán Molloy (University of Edinburgh), Florian Rösch and Sarah Schoeller, Prof. Dr. Kosuke Shimizu (Ryukoku University), Stefan Skupien, and Prof. Dr. Benedikt Stuchtey and the staff of the German Historical Institute London. Finally, it is my great pleasure to thank Mai Murakami for her patience, encourage- ment, and love. 辛い時に支えてくれてありがとう. vii Table of Contents Abstract ................................................................................................................................................. iii Acknowledgements ......................................................................................................................... vi Chapter 1 .

  • Aktueller Begriff Vor 100 Jahren: Der Mord an Matthias Erzberger
    Wissenschaftliche Dienste Aktueller Begriff Vor 100 Jahren: Der Mord an Matthias Erzberger Am 26. August 1921 wurde der Zentrumspolitiker Matthias Erzberger bei Bad Griesbach im Schwarzwald bei einem Spaziergang mit einem befreundeten Reichstagsabgeordneten von zwei rechtsradikalen Freikorpsmitgliedern ermordet. Der tödliche Anschlag galt einem der exponier- testen Verfechter der noch jungen Weimarer Demokratie, der als Reichstagsabgeordneter schon vor 1914 entschieden für eine Parlamentarisierung des Kaiserreiches eingetreten war. Matthias Erzberger wurde am 20. September 1875 im schwäbischen Dorf Buttenhausen geboren. Aus einfachen Verhältnissen stammend schloss er 1894 eine Ausbildung zum Volksschullehrer als Jahrgangsbester ab. Schon während seiner zweijährigen Tätigkeit als Lehrerpraktikant wurde seine politische Begabung vom Mitbegründer der württembergischen Zentrumspartei Josef Eckard entdeckt, der ihn zum Eintritt in die Redaktion des katholischen „Deutschen Volksblat- tes“ veranlasste. Neben seiner publizistischen Tätigkeit leitete Erzberger in Stuttgart ein katholi- sches Arbeitersekretariat und gehörte zu den Verfechtern der 1899 gegründeten Christlichen Ge- werkschaften. 1903 wurde er mit 28 Jahren für die Zentrumspartei im Wahlkreis Biberach-Leut- kirch-Waldsee-Wangen als jüngster Abgeordneter in den Reichstag gewählt, wo er zur neuen Ge- neration von Berufspolitikern zählte. Da Reichstagsabgeordnete zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch keine Diäten erhielten, verdiente er seinen Lebensunterhalt als parteipolitisch gebundener Journalist.

The proletariat have swarmed out, waving the red banners of Communism; private armies of unemployed, disaffected veterans - Freikorps- roam the streets thrashing the Communists. The Weimar Republic ts estaablished under the protection of the Freikorps. An explosion of radical music, theater, and art manifests the seething rancor and nervous energy of the people. The most insane, paralyzing inflation the world has known makes life a misery for the hungry, desperate populace . Although the flower of their kind lie buried in Flanders fields, a few aristocratic families preserve their privileged, even exquisite lives: boating parties at summer palaces, chamber music in great townhouses on Sunday afternoons. This is the rich backdrop of "A Princess in Berlin", a social novel in the grand tradition of e.g. Theodor Fontane in the Germany of the 19th century.

  • Realism in World Politics: the Transatlantic Tradition, Pt. I Professor Matthew Specter Spring 2021 Mondays, 9:30-11:30
    Realism in World Politics: The Transatlantic Tradition, Pt. I Professor Matthew Specter Spring 2021 Mondays, 9:30-11:30 Since 1945, three leading traditions have fought for primacy in the theory and practice of US foreign policy: the liberal internationalist, the realist, and the neoconservative. Liberals and realists, so the usual story goes, disagree on the fundamental questions of the relationship of law, morality and power in international politics. Where the liberals are said to be principled multilateralists and earnest supporters of human rights, the realists are said to stick to the austere and amoral calculation of whether actions abroad are in “the national interest.” But the real history is much more complicated. In the postwar era, 1945-1989, US realists and liberal internationalists had much more in common than is usually portrayed. Liberal internationalists were neither consistently liberal nor truly internationalist. They were one face of American primacy in the international system. Realism, sometimes associated with the global balancing of the US, Soviet and Chinese interests by Henry Kissinger, is often thought to have originated in the late 19th century German tradition of Realpolitik, and its master practitioner Bismarck. In this course we explore the myths that have grown up around liberal internationalism, realism, and the relationship between US history and German history that nurtured both sets of ideas. The true story of foreign policy realism is one of a century of transatlantic exchange of ideas, from the US to Germany and back again. The notion that Germany’s modern history followed a deviant path, resulting as it did in the Third Reich, and the US was an exceptional advocate of democracy and fair play in international relations cannot sustain scrutiny.

  • John J. Mearsheimer: an Offensive Realist Between Geopolitics and Power
    John J. Mearsheimer: an offensive realist between geopolitics and power Peter Toft Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen, Østerfarimagsgade 5, DK 1019 Copenhagen K, Denmark. E-mail: [email protected] With a number of controversial publications behind him and not least his book, The Tragedy of Great Power Politics, John J. Mearsheimer has firmly established himself as one of the leading contributors to the realist tradition in the study of international relations since Kenneth Waltz’s Theory of International Politics. Mearsheimer’s main innovation is his theory of ‘offensive realism’ that seeks to re-formulate Kenneth Waltz’s structural realist theory to explain from a struc- tural point of departure the sheer amount of international aggression, which may be hard to reconcile with Waltz’s more defensive realism. In this article, I focus on whether Mearsheimer succeeds in this endeavour. I argue that, despite certain weaknesses, Mearsheimer’s theoretical and empirical work represents an important addition to Waltz’s theory. Mearsheimer’s workis remarkablyclear and consistent and provides compelling answers to why, tragically, aggressive state strategies are a rational answer to life in the international system. Furthermore, Mearsheimer makes important additions to structural alliance theory and offers new important insights into the role of power and geography in world politics. Journal of International Relations and Development (2005) 8, 381–408. doi:10.1057/palgrave.jird.1800065 Keywords: great power politics; international security; John J. Mearsheimer; offensive realism; realism; security studies Introduction Dangerous security competition will inevitably re-emerge in post-Cold War Europe and Asia.1 International institutions cannot produce peace.

  • Jean-Luc Nancy and the Deconstruction of Christianity By
    Jean-Luc Nancy and the Deconstruction of Christianity by Tenzan Eaghll A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto ©Copyright by Tenzan Eaghll 2016 Jean-Luc Nancy and the Deconstruction of Christianity Tenzan Eaghll Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation is a study of the origins and development of the French philosopher Jean- Luc Nancy’s work on the “deconstruction of Christianity.” By situating Nancy's work in light of the broader Continental philosophical analysis of religion in the 20th Century, it argues that what Nancy calls the "deconstruction of Christianity" and the "exit from religion" is his unique intervention into the problem of metaphysical nihilism in Western thought. The author explains that Nancy’s work on religion does not provide a new “theory” for the study of religion or Christianity, but shows how Western metaphysical foundations are caught up in a process of decomposition that has been brought about by Christianity. For Nancy, the only way out of nihilism is to think of the world as an infinite opening unto itself, for this dis- encloses any transcendent principle of value or immanent notion of meaninglessness in the finite spacing of sense, and he finds the resources to think this opening within Christianity. By reading Christian notions like "God" and "creation ex nihilo" along deconstructive lines and connecting them with the rise and fall of this civilization that once called itself "Christendom," he attempts to expose "the sense of an absenting" that is both the condition of possibility for the West and what precedes, succeeds, and exceeds it.

Carr and the scientific realism of contemporary International Relations scholarship. Beginning with the latter, I engage in (1) immanent analysis to show how scientific realism fails to meet its own explanatory protocol and (2) genealogy to recover the normative origins of the conceptual and analytical components of scientific realism. Against the backdrop of scientific realism’s empirical and normative shortcomings, I turn to Morgenthau and Carr to appraise what I term their critical realism.

More detailed, what sort of foreign policy EU is implementing through its military operation EU NAVFOR Atalanta launched to prevent and combat piracy off the coast of Somalia, and which kind of power position it is seeking through it internationally. The theoretical framework creating the structure of the research comes from Hans Morgenthau and his realistic theory, which he introduced more in detail in his book called Politics Among Nations – The Struggle for Power and Peace (1948). In this book, he separates three different policy types based on the state’s foreign policy: policy of imperialism, policy of status quo and policy of prestige. The method of the research is directed content analysis. All the state’s actions, especially the ones that are considered to belong to the area of foreign politics, are somehow after power: they either seek to increase, stabilize or show off it. Consequently, the objective is to recognize w he ther EU is trying to acquire more power, hold on to its present power or mainly just demonstrating its power through Operation Atalanta. Furthermore, embarking upon the identification of the foreign policy type allows us to further see what kind of power distribution EU is seeking in relation to other security actors.

Washington Blvd. Truland Building, 5th Floor Arlington, VA 22201 [email protected] 1990’LU YILLARDA ULUSLARARASI İLİŞ KİLER VE ÇATI ŞMA ÇÖZÜMÜNDE NEOREAL İZM VE NEO- GRAMS İYAN HEGEMONYA KAVRAMI Abstract The article aims to explain international relations and conflict resolution in combination with the neorealist and neo-Gramscian notions of the hegemony during the 1990s. In the first part, it focuses on neorealist hegemony theories. The Hegemonic Stability Theory (HST) is tested for viability as an explanatory tool of the Cold-War world politics and conflict resolution. Because of the limitations of neorealist hegemony theories, the neo-Gramscian hegemony and related concepts such as historic bloc, passive revolution, civil society and war of position/war of movement are elaborated. Later, the Coxian approach to international relations and world order is explained as a critical theory. Finally, the article attempts to establish a model of structural conflict analysis and resolution.

  • Der Mord Am Zentrumspolitiker Matthias Erzberger – Eine Spur Führt Auch Nach Schiltach
    Der Mord am Zentrumspolitiker Matthias Erzberger – eine Spur führt auch nach Schiltach von Michael Hensle Vor 90 Jahren fiel einer der bedeutendsten und zugleich umstrittensten Politiker der jungen Weimarer Republik einem Attentat zum Opfer, der Zentrumsabgeordnete, ehemalige Reichsfinanzminister und Vizekanzler Matthias Erzberger. Am Vormittag des 26. August 1921 unternahmen Matthias Erzberger, geb. 1875) und sein Abgeordnetenkollege Carl Diez (1877- 1969) einen Spaziergang bei Bad Griesbach, als sie von zwei jungen Männern überholt wurden. Die beiden Unbekannten zogen plötzlich wortlos Pistolen und feuerten ohne Vorwarnung auf die Abgeordneten. Erzberger stürzte tödlich getroffen, seine stehengebliebene Uhr zeigte 11.05 Uhr. Diez überlebte von Schüssen getroffen schwer verletzt. Die Täter konnten entkommen. Quelle: Deutsches Historisches Museum: www.dhm.de/lemo/bestand/objekt/96001628 1 So brutal die Vorgehensweise der Mörder, so dilettantisch die Ausführung. Weggeworfene Papierschnitzel führten schnell zu den Attentätern, und deren Spur führte nach München. Es handelte sich um die 28- und 27-jährigen ehemaligen Marineoffiziere Heinrich Schulz und Heinrich Tillessen, die sich jedoch bereits ins Ausland abgesetzt hatten. Allerdings zeigten die Ermittlungen bald, dass die Geflüchteten keine wirren Einzeltäter waren, sondern Mitglieder einer Geheimorganisation, der Organisation "Consul". Die Organisation "C" rekrutierte sich aus frustrierten und radikalisierten Soldaten und Offizieren, vornehmlich Mitglieder des berüchtigten Freikorps
