The power of political structures has a specific internal dynamic. On the basis of this power, the members may pretend to a special ‘prestige,’ and their pretensions may influence the external conduct of the power structures. Experience teaches that claims to prestige have always played into the origin of wars…The realm of ‘honour,’ which is comparable to the ‘status order’ within a social structure, pertains also to the interrelations of political structures.
