520 |a A review of: Robert D. Kaplan, Warrior Politics: Why Leadership Demands a Pagan Ethos (New York: Random House, 2002). 198 pp. $22.95. Kaplan's book is an attempt to use ancient insights to justify a country's use of force in maintaining hegemony. Kaplan believes that Christianity has nothing to contribute to international affairs. The author elevates power and self-interest as forces to shape the world, and discounts the importance of NGO's, faith-based organizations, and peacekeeping tactics. According to Kaplan, hegemonic leaders should be constrained only by their solid character. Lacking from his book is an explanation of how world leaders might pursue peace. Christians should approach international affairs with a commitment to justice instead of merely holding fast to the ideology of realism.
