2.1.3 Balancing and bandwagoning: Waltz’s variants Balancing and containment While Waltz argued that power maximization is not desirable, offensive-minded neorealists argued that power maximization by great powers is unavoidable. This view is best represented by Mearsheimer’s (2014) book The tragedy of Great Power Politics. Arguing for great powers’ ambition to seek regional and international hegemony, the book argues that balancing behaviors of existing great powers against rising great powers…

possesses is not fixed and can increase as individuals improve their social rankings or through good deeds which are recognised by others. Damage to tapu can arise through various means such as, direct physical assault or public humiliation (Metge, 1976, pp. 58-60). It is important to follow the tikanga (rules) regarding tapu, as not doing so is seen as disrespecting atua (Media New Zealand , 2016). A common way to do so, followed even today, is to not sit on a table where food will either be…

This literary movement manifest in what I call the phantasmic trauma narrative, which uses culturally specific modes of the fantastic or the supernatural to engage the traumatic past and give voice to those marginalized by white historiographic accounts. The phantasmic trauma narrative provides a space within which African American writes can connect the event of slavery to the broader cultural fabric of African American history.” (Setka pg. 93) Butler provides the reader with a connection to…

Wiesenthal, Simon. The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness. New York: Schocken, 1976. The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness is a book written by Simon Wiesenthal. Simon Wiesenthal was an Austrian Nazi hunter and writer, he was also a Jewish Austrian Holocaust survivor.

Americans were slaves. In fact, the first official United States Census taken in 1790 showed that eight percent of the black populace was free. [Edgar A. Toppin. "Blacks in the American Revolution" (published essay, Virginia State University, 1976), p. 1]. The first 20 Africans arrived in Virginia in the early 1600s and small numbers followed in subsequent years. Compared with indentured servants, slaves offered planters more advantages. As Africans, they could not claim the…

it was clichéd and tacky to think this, but - not this time and not on my watch! I reacquainted myself with information about my prime suspect, Bobby Cutler - a local bad boy, who had already left school and worked in his family’s butcher shop in 1976. He was not only the ‘prime suspect’ but according to the Angelic Counsel, ‘the murderer’. At the time, he was brought in for questioning, but a strong alibi and no evidence to suggest otherwise, the police were forced to release him.…

LONDON was swinging and even New Scientist occasionally delved into affairs as far out as an early Pink Floyd concert. In our 6 January 1966 issue, we reported on “an abstract motion picture projector called Box 3”. It was created by artist John Healey and was being used in hospitals for its “psychological effects”. Apparently the box could “stimulate or soothe, beguile or inspire” using a non-repetitive, symmetrical, curving coloured pattern. It was proving particularly popular in the maternity…
