AIT YM. 32, p. 83) relates the hypothetical example of a king of France, who “might send letters on the same day to the count of Flanders, who was definitely his vassal, but a very independent and unruly one, to the count of Luxembourg, who was a prince of the Empire but who held a money-fief (a regular, annual pension) of the king of France, and to the king of Sicily, who was certainly a ruler of a sovereign state but also a prince of the French royal house.”.

In principle, Waltz allows for the possibility of co-equality, but in deed he argues for the priority of the international polity, as we shall see below. It picks up where the earlier work left off: with the structure of the international system serving as the basis for explaining a variety of international outcomes. FMAR Note, however, that Locke defined property very broadly here, to include that in which individuals have rights, including life, liberty, and possessions. OJCE TITLE: Simmons, Beth A. He also uses the term in the economists' sense—of the system returning to a prior or corresponding point of equilibrium after a disturbance.

OJD 10 Waltz acknowledges that Wallerstein has also developed a systemic theory, but rejects Wallerstein's claims for its logical priority (p. 38).

However, as Waltz shows (chaps. 102-128). Waltz's definition of sovereignty is not helpful either: “To say that states are sovereign is not to say that they can do as they please….

In the realm of generative structures, the concern is “with principles, not things” (Leach, Edmund, Rethinking Anthropology [London: Athlone Press, 1961], 7). 15 There has been inordinate confusion about these distinctions, stemming largely from the way in which the so-called levels-of-analysis problem is usually interpreted. Political Structures 6. JTR It should be noted that for Durkheim the designation “social fact” does not refer to all phenomena that take place within society, but only to those that exist exterior to individuals, are not subject to modification by a simple effort of will on the part of individuals, and function as a constraint on individual behavior (fn.
