night-watchman - 2024 PLAYTIME

Question

Ferdinand Lassalle coined the term for this model as a pun on a German term implying stupidity. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this model of state justified as an enforcer of the non-aggression principle by right libertarians.

ANSWER: night-watchman [or minarchy or minarchism; accept Nachtwächterstaat; prompt on watchman]

[10m] This thinker used the term “night watchman” to refer to a hypothetical global hegemon between states, as opposed to the regional hegemony achieved in his theory of “offensive realism,” in The Tragedy of Great Power Politics.

ANSWER: John Mearsheimer

[10e] Mearsheimer’s offensive realism relies on this condition’s “international” form, meaning no global hegemonic power controls relations. Pierre-Joseph Proudhon advocated for this condition, the abolishment of state power.

ANSWER: anarchy [accept word forms such as anarchism; accept international anarchy]
