Document Summary
Michael doyle: liberal states are different. Yet, they are also prone to make war : liberal states have created a separate peace, as kant argued they would, and have also discovered liberal reasons for aggression, as he feared they might. Now, think back to rousseau: says that all societies have particular interests : (ie, interests that express the needs, demands, concerns of particular ind"s and groups) But, societies also have common interests which rousseau calls the general will the common good. but also, specifically: common preservation , well being , peace , unity , equality . These common interests can be realized only when people put aside their particular interests. 3: launching an invasion to prevent being ruled over (get them before they get you) Here, machiavelli shares a lot in common with the view of realism in ir theory.
