Evolution, Sex and Narcissism.

Caleb Pomeroy's article explores the relationship between perceptions of power in international relations and individual preferences for behavior. Pomeroy's research suggests that individuals who believe their country has more power are more likely to lean towards a hawkish direction. The article also raises questions about alternative theoretical explanations, such as the evolutionary foundation of perceptions of power, and suggests the need for further research on the role of gender and emotions in shaping preferences for interventionist foreign policy. Additionally, the article discusses the concept of virtuous violence as another model for understanding aggression towards outgroups. Overall, Pomeroy's work contributes to the empirical basis for power transition theory and opens up avenues for future research in this area. [Extracted from the article]
