  • Bringing in Darwin Bradley A. Thayer
    Bringing in Darwin Bradley A. Thayer Evolutionary Theory, Realism, and International Politics Efforts to develop a foundation for scientiªc knowledge that would unite the natural and social sci- ences date to the classical Greeks. Given recent advances in genetics and evolu- tionary theory, this goal may be closer than ever.1 The human genome project has generated much media attention as scientists reveal genetic causes of dis- eases and some aspects of human behavior. And although advances in evolu- tionary theory may have received less attention, they are no less signiªcant. Edward O. Wilson, Roger Masters, and Albert Somit, among others, have led the way in using evolutionary theory and social science to produce a synthesis for understanding human behavior and social phenomena.2 This synthesis posits that human behavior is simultaneously and inextricably a result of evo- lutionary and environmental causes. The social sciences, including the study of international politics, may build upon this scholarship.3 In this article I argue that evolutionary theory can improve the realist theory of international politics. Traditional realist arguments rest principally on one of two discrete ultimate causes, or intellectual foundations. The ªrst is Reinhold Niebuhr’s argument that humans are evil. The second is grounded in the work Bradley A. Thayer is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Minnesota—Duluth. I am grateful to Mlada Bukovansky, Stephen Chilton, Christopher Layne, Michael Mastanduno, Roger Masters, Paul Sharp, Alexander Wendt, Mike Winnerstig, and Howard Wriggins for their helpful comments.

  • Men and Force: Saying Yes to Aggression and No to Violence
    Thomas Owen-Towle Minns lecture V MEN AND FORCE SAYING YES TO AGGRESSION AND NO TO VIOLENCE Men are not flawed by nature. We become destructive when our masculinity is damaged. Violence springs from desperation and fear rather than authentic manhood. Aaron Kipnis Introduction If you haven’t discerned by now, I’m neither a cynic nor an optimist. Instead I’m a pragmatic hoper. In the final analysis, I agree with Stephen Boyd who says that “men are not inherently or irreversibly violent, relationally incompetent, emotionally constipated, and sexually compulsive. To the extent that we manifest these characteristics, we do so not because we are male, but because we have experienced violent socialization and conditioning processes that have required or produced this kind of behavior and we have chosen to accept, or adopt, these ways of being, thinking, and acting.” I contend that men can transform our histories of damaged and damaging masculinity. We can, indeed must, become more mature liberal religious brothers. Changing men will change our world. I behave my life on that premise and promise. One of the thorny yet useful distinctions for contemporary men to negotiate lies at the heart of lecture V: namely, saying yes to aggression or soul-force and saying no to violence, or unwarranted destruction. Our Demonic Male Legacy 1 There is no such thing as paradise, not in the South Seas, not in southern Greece, not anywhere. There never has been. To find a better world we must look not to a romanticized and dishonest dream forever receding into the primitive past, but to a future that rests on a proper understanding of ourselves.

  • Richard Wranghani and Dale Peterson, from Demonic
    strength and instinct for aggression would gradually come to predominate in the population. Most cultural anthropologists from the 1950s onward rejected the expla- nation of human aggression in terms of instincts, emphasizing instead the social and cultural causes of violence. They pointed out that the amount of aggression tolerated varies widely from one society to another and that individ- uals can become aggressive or peaceful depending on how they are raised. They held up such groups as the Semai of Malaysia (see Robert K. Dentan, The Semai: A Nonviolent People of Malaya [Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 196811) as proof YES: Richard Wranghani and Dale Peterson, from Demonic that culture could create a people who abhorred all forms of aggression and Males: Apes and the Origins or Human Violence (Houghton Mifflin coercion. 'Whatever instinct for aggression humans might have, they argued, Company, 1996) must be very weak indeed. The question behind this issue concerns the nature of human nature. NO: Robert W. Sussman, from "Exploring Our Basic Human Have we a set of innate behavioral predispositions that, when set off by certain Nature," Anthro Notes (Fall 1997) stimuli, are very likely to be expressed? Or, are any such predispositions at best weak tendencies that can be shaped or even negated by cultural conditioning? Many apparently innate behaviors in humans turn out to be highly variable in ISSUE SUMMARY their strength and form. While the sucking instinct of babies operates predict- ably in all newborns, a hypothesized "mothering instinct" seems quite diverse YES: Biological anthropologist Richard Wrangham and science in expression and variable in strength from one woman to another.

From there, we’d turn south toward Caribou and Ripogenus Maine Woods Lakes, leaving the routes of “Chesuncook” and “Allegash and by Jake McGinnis the East Branch” behind us as we headed for our takeout. On the West Branch, I would fasten a map of our route on the outside Two days after the close of the Annual Gathering last summer, of my pack, and all day I’d glance down at it to track our path a small group of Thoreauvians set out in canoes on Lobster Stream, against what I remembered of Thoreau’s two trips down this same fifty-some miles by bumpy, unpaved, and largely ungraded road stretch of river. I had come to Maine to sort out some ideas for a from Millinocket, Maine. For an hour, maybe two, we worked our dissertation chapter on The Maine Woods, and I had high hopes way upstream. In the days to come, we’d be traveling a part of for a kind of epiphany, a better sense of Thoreau’s travels there. On that first day on Lobster Stream, though, seated in the bow of a wood and canvas canoe steered by Maine Guide Polly Mahoney, I wasn’t thinking about my map at all, or even about Thoreau. Rather, I was looking up at the sky, my thoughts occupied by a dark gray cloud racing in from the north.
