Shortcomings of International Regimes International regimes are overloaded with high expectations to address rising conflicts caused by major actors in international relations. Their relative universality in comparison to domestic governance leads to state dependence on international organizations, law, and norms to combat the surmountable power of major actors to shape world politics. Although regimes possess the potential to shape the actions of and constrain major actors in international politics

This essay identifies Morgenthau's definition of scope, purpose and concepts underlying a theoretical structure initially set out in six points in Politics Among Nations, identifies the structure holding these components together into a coherent "realist theory of international politics" (Morgenthau, 1985 p. 3) and discusses some of the controversy Morgenthau's proposals have engendered.

Exploring the human senses of right and wrong, John Steinbeck shortly received the Nobel Prize after he connected with the hearts of many through his nation-wide fictional novel, The Grapes of Wrath.
