Abstract
In the paper I discuss the hypothesis that citizens of any well ordered republic will put their own rational interests before the ambitions of their rulers suggesting that it is the hub of the entire project for a pacific federation which lends some power of enforcement behind otherwise unsanctioned contractual international obligations. If so the premises need critical examination for their apparent simplicity is deceptive.
