We have it from the celebrated Max Weber that the behaviour of nations is determined not by ideas but by ‘interests’ – a loaded concept in the sense that these are dependent on the interpretation given by a nation to its environment. This implies that ‘images of reality’ are crucial in the definition of what are national interests and what are not. Perceptions thus determine inter-state relations, and existing Policies should be seen as reactions to images of interests, pressures, and assumed underlying objectives.
