Part 2

by John Burton, Senior Lecturer in International Law, University College, London
Are codified game systems, like that of Herman Kahn 's On Escalation, realistic analyses of modern power politics? Or should we jettison the whole 'competitive-game' model of international relations in favour of. say, a communications model? Dr Burton considers whether we should not be trying to look at international relations from a new standpoint.

by Roger Vitrac
