Domestic analogy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The concept of Dome tables analogy (English original: domestic analogy ) led the political scientist Hedley Bull in the discussion, the term a model for understanding and interpretation of international relations called.

Hedley Bull assumes that states can be understood as individuals analogously to a society, specifically that the relationship between individuals and the relationship between states follow the same rules. A domestic analogy is therefore present when state aggression is understood as the international equivalent of robbery or murder.

Michael Walzer uses the domestic analogy in his book Just and Unjust Wars to distinguish between unjust and just wars.
