Hans j. morgenthau, politics among nations: the struggle for power and peace, p. 4-15. Six principles of political realism: political realism believes that politics is governed by objective las that have their roots in human nature. The causes of war: kant: "the natural state is the state of war. " The causes of war lie both in the states and in the state system. The weak effects of interdependence: interdependence adds the power of the pro t motive. Democratic states may increasingly devote themselves to the pursuit of peace and pro ts. The trading state is replacing the political-military state. The power of the market now surpasses the power of the state: interdependence in some ways promotes peace by multiplying contacts among states and contributing to mutual understanding. Power has "shifted upward from weak states to stronger ones" Power has "shifted sideways from states to markets and thus to non-state authorities deriving power from their market shares"
