Notes
quoted in R. Aron, Main Currents in Sociological Thought, vol. II, London, 1958, p. 51
J. Plamenatz, Ideology (London, 1970) p. 15.
These three contrasting types of social organisation are described in Ruth Benedict, Patterns of Culture (Cambridge, Mass., 1934).
For a more adequate account of each of these societies and of the characteristic ideology in each, see E. Luard, Types of International Society (New York, 1977) especially chap. 5.
See Evan Luard, War in International Society (London, 1986) pp. 87–8.
Cf. G. Mattingly, “International Diplomacy and International Law”, in The New Cambridge Modern History (Cambridge, 1958) vol. iii, p. 154
G. P. Gooch made the same point: “While patriotism is as old as the instinct of human association, nationalism as an articulate creed issued from the volcanic fires of the French Revolution” (Studies in Diplomacy and Statecraft, London, 1942, p. 300).
