By the causes of wars we normally mean human motives, and Mr. Wight suggests that the motives for war have remained fairly constant in international history. In particular, he discusses the condition of stasis-rhat is to say, a condition of strife within communities as distinct from strife between them-in international society since 1789 which has resulted from the motive of doctrinal conflict.
