商品描述

What is Realpolitik? How did the concept come about, and what does it stand for? This book explores the origins and meaning of a core precept of international history and politics. Statesmen, diplomats, and analysts alike deploy the term as if it were a timeless label. Endlessly, they suppose, states compete with each other for power in a zero-sum game. Yet Realpolitik was born in Germany in the mid-nineteenth century. The circumstances of its birth are key to its meaning. Realpolitik emerged among Europe's constitutional struggles on the one hand, and the wars of Italian and German unification on the other. Revolutionary disappointment, the end of the Romantic era, and the rise of a new scientific materialism all informed a Realist period of political strongmen. Rather than describing a permanent state of things, this book suggests, Realpolitik is rooted in nineteenth-century European and German politics, and consequently the rise of an aggressive nationalism.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

什麼是現實政治(Realpolitik)?這個概念是如何產生的,它代表了什麼?本書探討了國際歷史和政治中一個核心原則的起源和意義。政治家、外交官和分析師們都將這個術語視為一個永恆的標籤。他們無休止地假設,各國在零和遊戲中相互競爭權力。然而,現實政治誕生於十九世紀中期的德國。其誕生的背景對於理解其意義至關重要。現實政治是在歐洲的憲政鬥爭與意大利和德國統一戰爭之間出現的。革命的失望、浪漫主義時代的結束以及新科學唯物主義的興起,都影響了這一現實主義的政治強人時期。本書認為,現實政治並不是描述一種永久的狀態,而是根植於十九世紀的歐洲和德國政治,因此也促成了激進民族主義的興起。
