12 Colin Elman Realists also claim Niccolo Machiavelli (1469–1527) among their number (Carr 1946: 63–4). Starting from a deeply pessimistic view of human nature, Machiavelli argues for strong and efficient rulers for whom power and security are the major concerns. Unlike individuals, such rulers are not bound by individual morality: ‘any action that can be regarded as important for the survival of the state carries with it a built-in justification’ (Smith 1986: 12). Realists also identify with Thomas

maintained for one more century. This occurred in 1707 when the first Act of Union officially proclaimed the creation of Great Britain, i.e. the union of Scotland with England and Wales. Union was brought about by 2 factors: > economic: the Scottish rulers saw all the advantages which could emanate from the union of their relatively poor country with a fast expanding colonial power. Indeed Scots participation in the building up of the British Empire was to prove decisive both militarily (Scottish regiments

(1992) et de Arrighi (1993, 1994) reposent sur une séparation abstraite de l’économique et du politique. Alors que Tilly distingue les accumulateurs de capital des accumulateurs de moyens de coercition, Arrighi distingue les capitalist rulers des territorialist rulers. Le problème qui nous intéresse ici est celui de la possibilité analytique de séparer le politique de l’économique comme le font ces auteurs. Or, dès que l’on situe notre analyse dans un contexte historique concret, cette séparation est

first under a penal and arbitrary form, the responsibility of ministers has gradually become political and regulated, resignation replacing decapitation. Responsible and sometimes guilty, the rulers seem to enjoy a degree of immunity which leads public opinion to turn to judges in order to force the rulers to account for their action. Neither “party democracy”, nor “public opinion democracy”, seem to be able to revive a principle that used to be efficient against absolutism, but has been neutralized

of laughter or comedy specifically, but emotion and poetry in general. Plato describes the effect of poetry in his Republic, writing, "it waters and fosters these feelings when what we ought to do is to dry them up, and it establishes them as our rulers when they ought to be ruled, to the end that we may be better and happier men instead of worse and more miserable" (606D). In other words, the more we watch poetry, the more our emotions take over which, to Plato, is a very bad thing - it is our reason

aspect of the Enlightenment - the acceptance of the enlightened despot, the all-powerful ruler who disregards the short-term wishes of his subjects and enacts, for their own good, often unpopular measures of social improvement. There are many such rulers in the last decades of the 18th century, Frederick the Great in Prussia being merely an early and outstanding example. The passion of the Enlightenment for the improvement and reform of society makes it an important element of the climate of opinion
