In one sense, the International is no different from the National.

In one sense, the 'National' is similar to the 'International'. That is to say, whether Nationally or Internationally, the underlying aspects of both political entities are the 'Peoples' within the geographical boundaries describing their sense of Identity as a political entity, i.e. as a Nation. But, the same 'condition of togetherness' underlies all Nations, regardless their location or sense of Political Identity, as a separate Nation with political power. In the same manner, as the 'essence' of a Democracy, being the 'Peoples' at the Bottom of government, so the essence of an International politics are the different 'Peoples' underlying each National Identity. The biggest dilemma facing the International sphere is the sense of 'separate Identity' of each Nation. Survival in the World is not possible if each Nation emphasizes its Identity as being 'separate', and having more 'power' than another. The World is a Planet where human life exists, and where humans arrange themselves into Nations, for 'political purposes'. The 'condition of togetherness' of 'Political entities', is very different from the 'condition of togetherness' of the People within any one Nation. 'Freedom and Equality' should definitely, 'motor' a National Politics( as in a Democracy), whereas, the National 'Power' of each nation 'motors' International relations. True, both scenes have 'a People', but International politics does not 'move' on the basis of the People within another Nation, it moves on the basis of International 'expressions' of National power and International 'relations' between Nations. Of course, Nations have the right to select their form of government; nevertheless, underlying all forms of government, are the 'Peoples' of each Nation. The World should be 'unified' as a People; not as Political entities seeking ways to increase their power on the International scene, or ways to 'increase' their National boundaries. The bottom line of any Nation as a 'political entity', are the human beings, that 'allow' the Leaders to govern them. Nations and States may be 'political fictions' with power, but underneath each Nation, are the Many; i.e. real human beings.
