Welcome to Realism and Policy

This is the first posting on what will be an online journal of essays and commentary.  Over the coming weeks and months, I will be adding articles, papers, and essays under the various above headings and cleaning up the articles already uploaded.   As of now there are only a handful of short articles and other pieces, but these are fairly representative samples and will give a good idea of the intended outlook offered here.

My approach to matters of policy is one of applied history—the critical application of historical knowledge and understanding to today’s questions, issues, problems and events.
