INTRODUCrION International legal scholarship has long suffered from too much normative theorizing and too little positive analysis about how the international legal system actually works. This inattention to the empirical and descriptive has alienated international legal scholars from their colleagues in political science departments and lent much of international law scholarship an utopian air. Whatever the historical source of this state of affairs, however, it is rapidly fading. A new generation of scholars, steeped in a variety of social scientific methodologies, has turned its sights on international law and is actively employing positive theories of state behavior to enhance legal analyses. These scholars have also begun to undertake empirical studies in an effort to provide support for their theoretical claims.

  • The Emperor Has No Clothes
    THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES How Hubris, Economics, Bad Timing and Slavery Sank King Cotton Diplomacy with England Joan Thompson Senior Division Individual Paper Thompson 1 All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then the success is sure. -Mark Twain DISASTROUS OVERCONFIDENCE 1 The ancient Greeks viewed hubris as a character flaw that, left unrecognized, caused personal destruction. What is true for a person may be true for a people. For the Confederate States of America, excessive faith in cotton, both its economic and cultural aspects, contributed mightily to its entry into, and ultimate loss of, the Civil War. The eleven states that seceded from the Union viewed British support as both a necessity for Southern success and a certainty, given the Confederacy’s status as the largest (by far) supplier of cotton to Britain. Yet, there was a huge surplus of cotton in Britain when the war began. Moreover, cotton culture’s reliance on slavery presented an insurmountable moral barrier. Southern over-confidence and its strong twin beliefs in the plantation culture and the power of cotton, in the face of countervailing moral values and basic economic laws, blinded the Confederacy to the folly of King Cotton diplomacy. THE CONFLICT: KING COTTON AND SLAVERY Well before the bombardment of Fort Sumter, the South exhibited deep confidence in cotton’s economic power abroad. During the Bloody Kansas debate,2 South Carolina senator James Henry Hammond boasted, “in [the South] lies the great valley of Mississippi…soon to be 1 excessive pride 2 In 1858, Congress debated whether Kansas should be admitted into the Union as a free state or slave state.

For the duration of the war, Great Britain, the world's strongest naval power, was officially neutral, but everyone at that time knew that, had she chosen to enter the fray, she (and the intimidating European alliance that would have followed in her wake) would have held keys to victory. 1 As a result, both the Union's and the Confederacy's war strategies pivoted around obtaining Britain's diplomatic favor.
