    Study Notes

    The Global Interstate System

    • The Global Interstate System is the system of interaction among nation-states.
    • The system is based on the principles of sovereignty, interstate relations, international order, and the interstate system.
    • These concepts are crucial for maintaining peace and order between and among nation-states.

    Categories of Countries

    • After World War II and the Cold War, the world was divided into three categories:
      • First World: Developed, capitalist, industrialized countries aligned with the United States.
      • Second World: Former communist-socialist, industrialized states.
      • Third World: All other countries, often used to describe developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

    Nation-States and Globalization 

    • Globalization has significant implications for nation-states:
      • It extends political and economic power beyond a country's territory.
      • It compels nations to follow international norms, laws, and standards.
      • It results in competition and collaboration with international institutions, transnational civil society, and global corporations.
      • Globalization is uneven in its distribution of benefits.
      • It places states in direct competition in areas such as economic investments, tourism, and political legitimacy.
      • It has led to both power diffusion and power consolidation.        - Citizen Gap: Globalization often results in rights without sufficient institutions to enforce them, identities without membership, and participation of some at the expense of others.

    Attributes of Modern International Politics

    • Modern international politics operates under these core principles:
      • Countries are independent and govern themselves.
      • States interact through diplomacy.
      • International organizations and institutions facilitate relations between states.
      • International organizations and institutions promote norms, including respect for human rights and free trade.

    Origins of the Nation-State (Interstate System)

    • The Peace of Westphalia (1648) shaped the modern interstate system.
      • It established the principle of state sovereignty, legal equality of states, and non-intervention in each other's domestic affairs.
      • This system provided stability for Europe until it was challenged by Napoleon Bonaparte. 
      • It created a world order characterized by the sovereignty of states and a balance of power.

    Nationalism and the Nation-State

    • The nation-state is comprised of:
      • an imagined community (people)
      • defined by territorial boundaries
      • seeking to govern itself through a government institution
    • Nationalism, which gained momentum in the 19th century, solidified the Westphalian order.

    Challenges to the Westphalian System

    • Napoleon Bonaparte challenged the system by advocating for French Revolution principles (liberty, equality, fraternity) throughout Europe.
      • This led to the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) and the spread of the Napoleonic Code.
      • France's hegemony was short-lived as Napoleon was defeated in 1815.

    The Concert of Europe (1815-1914)

    • This alliance sought to restore Europe to its pre-revolution state.
      • This included a return to monarchical rule, Christian values, and a repudiation of the Napoleonic Code.
      • The aim was to maintain the balance of power and restore state sovereignty through great power diplomacy.

    Internationalism

    • Internationalism promotes greater cooperation and unity among states and peoples.
    • It encompasses the ideas from thinkers like Kant, Mazzini, and Woodrow Wilson.
    • It aims to promote global democracy and self-determination.
    • The League of Nations (1919-1946) was a concretization of these principles.  

    The League of Nations (1919-1946)

    • Established after World War I to maintain world peace through international arbitration. 
    • Marked the birth of task-specific international organizations like the WHO and ILO.

    Socialist Internationalism

    • Karl Marx advocated for:
      • Economic equality
      • The unity of workers worldwide under the slogan, "Workers of the world, unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains."
      • The abolition of nationalism, believing it hinders the struggle for workers' rights.
