we also made the plan. the plan consists of the six weeks we have to acquire the intellectual capacity to kick-ass (not sure what exactly this means anymore, but still that's the objective...) we gave a week for every major school in IR, we marked our calendars, also added the papers that we need to write during those six weeks, as well as the classes/subjects we need to review, and the fellowship applications we'd like to make... decided what we're gonna read for the first week to be able to navigate in the dark waters of realist anarchy. and... boy, it looks scary!
so, according to the plan, this is the week of realism.
the memorable sentence of the day, of course comes from morgenthau: "politics, like society in general, is governed by objective laws that have their roots in human nature."
also, we have a beautiful table showing the different operationalizations of 'power' in variants of realism.
not much fun yet.. we're just waiting for the days when 'fear and insecurity will vary' and the cyclical history will repeat itself once more...
