  • The Rarity of Realpolitik the Rarity of Brian Rathbun Realpolitik What Bismarck’S Rationality Reveals About International Politics
    The Rarity of Realpolitik The Rarity of Brian Rathbun Realpolitik What Bismarck’s Rationality Reveals about International Politics Realpolitik, the pur- suit of vital state interests in a dangerous world that constrains state behavior, is at the heart of realist theory. All realists assume that states act in such a man- ner or, at the very least, are highly incentivized to do so by the structure of the international system, whether it be its anarchic character or the presence of other similarly self-interested states. Often overlooked, however, is that Real- politik has important psychological preconditions. Classical realists note that Realpolitik presupposes rational thinking, which, they argue, should not be taken for granted. Some leaders act more rationally than others because they think more rationally than others. Hans Morgenthau, perhaps the most fa- mous classical realist of all, goes as far as to suggest that rationality, and there- fore Realpolitik, is the exception rather than the rule.1 Realpolitik is rare, which is why classical realists devote as much attention to prescribing as they do to explaining foreign policy. Is Realpolitik actually rare empirically, and if so, what are the implications for scholars’ and practitioners’ understanding of foreign policy and the nature of international relations more generally? The necessity of a particular psy- chology for Realpolitik, one based on rational thinking, has never been ex- plicitly tested. Realists such as Morgenthau typically rely on sweeping and unveriªed assumptions, and the relative frequency of realist leaders is difªcult to establish empirically. In this article, I show that research in cognitive psychology provides a strong foundation for the classical realist claim that rationality is a demanding cogni- tive standard that few leaders meet.

  • The Legal History of European Reparation Claims: 1946–1953
    BUXBAUM 1.17.14 1/17/2014 2:42 PM From Paris To London: The Legal History of European Reparation Claims: 1946–1953 Richard M. Buxbaum* INTRODUCTION: THE EARLY HISTORY AND WHY IT MATTERS The umbrella concept of reparations, including its compensatory as well as restitutionary aspects, regretfully remains as salient today as it was in the twentieth century. A fresh look at its history in that century, and how that history shapes today’s discourses, is warranted. This study is warranted in particular because the major focus in recent decades has been on the claims of individual victims of various atrocities and injustices—generalized as the development of international human rights law by treaty, statute, and judicial decision. One consequence of this development is that the historical primacy of the state both as the agent for its subjects and as the principally if not solely responsible actor is ever more contested. How did this shift from state responsibility and state agency over the past half-century or more occur? Considering the apparent primacy of the state in this context as World War II came to an end, do the shortcomings of the inter-state processes of the early postwar period provide a partial explanation of these later * Jackson H. Ralston Professor of International Law (Emeritus), University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. My thanks to a number of research assistants, in particular Lisa Pfitzner, Sonya Hymer, Niilana Mutama, and Rachel Anderson; my thanks also to David Caron and the late Gerald Feldman for critical reading of the manuscript and good advice.

  • The Deutsche Bank and the Nazi Economic War Against the Jews: the Expropriation of Jewish-Owned Property Harold James Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521803292 - The Deutsche Bank and the Nazi Economic War Against the Jews: The Expropriation of Jewish-Owned Property Harold James Frontmatter More information The Deutsche Bank and the Nazi Economic War Against the Jews This book examines the role of the Deutsche Bank, Germany’s largest financial institution, in the expropriation of Jewish-owned enterprises during the Nazi dictatorship, both in the existing territories of Germany and in the area seized by the German army during World War II. The author uses new and previously unavailable materials, many from the bank’s own archives, to examine policies that led to the eventual genocide of European Jews. How far did the realization of the vicious and destruc- tive Nazi ideology depend on the acquiesence, the complicity, and the cupidity of existing economic institutions to individuals? In response to the traditional argument that business cooperation with the Nazi regime was motivated by profit, this book closely examines the behavior of the bank and its individuals to suggest other motivations. No comparable study exists of a single company’s involvement in the economic persecu- tion of the Jews in Nazi Germany. Harold James is Professor of History at Princeton University and the author of several books on German economy and society. His earlier work on the Deutsche Bank was awarded the Financial Times/Booz–Allen Book Award and the Hamilton Global Business Book of the Year Award in 1996. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press

  • ARTISTS MAKE US WHO WE ARE the ANNUAL REPORT of the PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY of the FINE ARTS Fiscal Year 2012-13 1 PRESIDENT’S LETTER
    ARTISTS MAKE US WHO WE ARE THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS FISCAL YEAR 2012-13 1 PRESIDENT’S LETTER PAFA’s new tagline boldly declares, “We Make Artists.” This is an intentionally provocative statement. One might readily retort, “Aren’t artists born to their calling?” Or, “Don’t artists become artists through a combination of hard work and innate talent?” Well, of course they do. At the same time, PAFA is distinctive among the many art schools across the United States in that we focus on training fine artists, rather than designers. Most art schools today focus on this latter, more apparently utilitarian career training. PAFA still believes passionately in the value of art for art’s sake, art for beauty, art for political expression, art for the betterment of humanity, art as a defin- ing voice in American and world civilization. The students we attract from around the globe benefit from this passion, focus, and expertise, and our Annual Student Exhibition celebrates and affirms their determination to be artists. PAFA is a Museum as well as a School of Fine Arts. So, you may ask, how does the Museum participate in “making artists?” Through its thoughtful selection of artists for exhibition and acquisition, PAFA’s Museum helps to interpret, evaluate, and elevate artists for more attention and acclaim. Reputation is an important part of an artist’s place in the ecosystem of the art world, and PAFA helps to reinforce and build the careers of artists, emerging and established, through its activities. PAFA’s Museum and School also cultivate the creativity of young artists.

    CLARENDON’S EXILE AND THE ROLE OF PERSONALITY IN HISTORICAL EXPLANATION1 D’Maris Coffman As others have noticed, Jonathan Steinberg’s work is noteworthy for his embrace of methodological pluralism. Steinberg did not think that history had native methodologies, believing instead that historical writing derives distinctiveness from its discursive conventions and epistemological claims.2 He thus welcomed and embraced methods imported from the other social sciences.3 While I was in graduate school at Penn, he encouraged me to master social and critical theory as tools for interpreting the importance of historical findings to the concerns of the present, whilst reminding me that historical explanation must leave room for contingency and for what Chris Clark has called the ‘irreducibility of personality’. At the same time, Steinberg was fascinated with biography and life-writing, and his late-life masterpiece, Bismarck: A Life, followed on from his thirty-six lectures for the Teaching Company entitled European History and European Lives: 1715 to 1914. Unsurprisingly, in his long career, Steinberg was interested in more than just those figures whose thirty-five lives informed his short portraits, and the constraints of space and chronology precluded at least one figure of lingering attention – Edward Hyde, the first Earl of Clarendon, whose own pen portraits had first captivated Jonathan with the genre of short biography that reached its zenith with Leslie Stephen’s Dictionary of National Biography. Clarendon held an appeal for Jonathan, especially

  • Why Switzerland?: Third Edition Jonathan Steinberg Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-88307-8 - Why Switzerland?: Third Edition Jonathan Steinberg Frontmatter More information Why Switzerland? Revised and completely updated edition of Jonathan Steinberg’s classic account of Switzerland’s unique political and economic system. Why Switzerland? examines the complicated voting system that allows citizens to add, strike out or vote more than once for candidates, with extremely complicated systems of proportional representation; a collective and consensual executive leadership in both state and church; and the creation of the Swiss idea of citizenship, with tolerance of differences of language and religion, and a perfectionist bureaucracy which regulates the well- ordered society. This third edition tries to test the flexibility of the Swiss way of politics in the globalised world, social media, the huge expansion of money in world circulation and the vast tsunamis of capital which threaten to swamp it. Can the complex machinery that has maintained Swiss institutions for centuries survive globalisation, neo-liberalism and mass migration from poor countries to rich ones? Jonathan Steinberg is the Walter H. Annenberg Professor of Modern European History at the University of Pennsylvania (emeritus) and an Emeritus Fellow, Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge. He was the principal author of The Deutsche Bank and Its Gold Transactions during the Second World War (1999). He is also the author of Yesterday’s Deterrent: Tirpitz and the Birth of the German Battle Fleet (1965), All or Nothing: The Axis

The United States’ Response to Genocide in the Independent State of Croatia, 1941–1945 Rob McCormick University of South Carolina Upstate In April 1941, Ante Pavelic´, the fascist leader of the Independent State of Croatia, and his paramilitary force, the Ustasˇe (‘‘rebels’’), began a genocide that killed at least 330,000 Serbs and essentially eliminated Jews and Roma from Croatia. The American response to genocide in Croatia provides a fuller context for examining Washington’s reaction to the Nazi genocide. By the summer of 1941, the US government had reliable information that genocide was taking place in Croatia. Washington expressed little interest in this slaughter, except insofar it affected Croatian–American and Serbian–American relations; made no direct public statement condemning the Ustasˇe’s actions; and offered no protest to the Vatican.
