Readings:
            Arnold Wolfers, "Power and Influence" in Discord, Chapter 7
            Hans Morgenthau, Politics Among Nations, Chapter 3
 

Discussion Questions:
     What makes a country powerful?  Cite both internal and external sources of strength.  What is the difference between power and influence, as Wolfers sees it?  Do very powerful countries necessarily get what they want in world politics?  Why?  Do arm build-ups always make a nation strong?
