Between war and peace. The image of the individual, the state and international relations in Kenneth N. Waltz’s book Man, the state and war

Summary/Abstract: The article is an extended review ofthe classic book by Kenneth N. Waltz Man, the state, and war, published in Poland for thefirst time almost 70 years after its American release. Waltz’s proposal — and his three imagespresenting man as an individual, the state as a union of acting individuals and internationalrelations as relations between states — is an exposition of structural realism. However, histheory, although correct, today requires clarification regarding the conditions for the peacefulexistence of the state and supplementation with elements of the just war theory in thereconstruction of post-conflict societies. This article reviews Waltz’s theory and while main-taining its relevance, it proposes new solutions required by a modern understanding of justwar theory.
