Abstract
Description
By the time Professor Morgenthau wrote his book Politics Among Nations, the
United States (US) and the Union of soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) were the two
superpower. TQ_e demise of the USSR left the US as the only super power. After
September 11, 2001, the Osama Bin Laden and his AI-Queda network brought on
the world stage a second super power. This dangerous development forced Saad
Fagih to remark "What Clinton is saying is there are two superpowers again: the
United States and Osama Bin Laden" (Time Dec. 28, 1998:70). With the emergenc~
of the Osama Bin Laden Factor, most of Morgenthau's prescriptions are now bottom
up!
Since the discovery of the Nuclear Elomb and the emergency of terrorists, the
continued existence of mankind on earth depends largely on an in depth
understanding of the relations among nations. It is in pursuance of the above
objective that Professor Morgenthau produced that compact, intelligent, classical
and altogether worthy book Political Among Nations which is a standard work on
International Relations.
