Document Summary
Initial stage of wishing must be succeeded by a stage of hard and ruthless analysis. Impact of thinking upon wishing which in the development of a science follows the breakdown of its first visionary projects, and marks the end of its specifically utopian period, is commonly called realism. Assumes a critical and somewhat cynical aspect. Emphasis on the acceptance of facts and on the analysis of their causes and consequences. Depreciate the role of purpose and to maintain, explicitly or implicitly. Tends to emphasize the irresistible strength of existing forces and the inevitable character of exists tendencies. Sometimes the necessary correctives to exuberance of utopianism. From iran to mauritania (east to west) From turkey to yemen (north to south) Country names, capitals, major bodies of water (ocean, seas, major rivers, strategic chokepoints) Neither the liberal nor the realist paradigm is completely correct-a mix. The great illusion: a study of the relation of military power to national advantage.
