SORU:

How does Niccolo Machiavelli define war?


CEVAP:

Italian Renaissance political philosopher and historian Machiavelli suggests that “war is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms”. Accordingly, war is inevitable, and because the most important political objective for states is survival war is seen just as a means of foreign policy. This point of view also reflects the realist international understanding.
