Quiz Questions for 16 or 17 September

The three announced quiz questions will usually be drawn from the reading assigned for the previous meeting or from my notes for the previous meeting or class discussion during that meeting.  If a quiz occurs on this date, it will consist either of two questions from the three below, or one question from those below plus a question about the reading assigned for this day.

1. What do Realists mean by the security dilemma?  In particular, why do they consider it to be a dilemma?  [Check the word's meaning in a good dictionary.]

2. In BS 7, authors Dunne and Schmidt speak of "the timeless wisdom of Realism."  What do they mean by this phrase?

3. Why do many Realists recommend policies intended to realize a balance of power?  Put differently, what do they consider to be beneficial about a balance of power?
