The superpowers did practice "organized hypocrisy, " in Steve Krasner's cogent phrase, generally abiding by juridical recognition of sovereign legal status, but not letting this stand in the way of their practice of realpolitik.

This goes back to James Madison's Federalist No. 10 warning about the danger of "factions": a "minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community. " What would Madison think if he heard about K Street or if he read Politico? See also Theodore J. Lowi, The End of Liberalism: The Second Republic of the United States (New York: W. W.
