“…In addition, substitutional effects of baclofen to replace alcohol have been discussed (Chick 2012;Rolland 2013). In addition, GABAB receptors are highly expressed in limbic structures involved in the mediation of anxiety, while activation of GABAB receptors in these structures might reduce anxiety (Morley 2014). Evidence from various clinical studies (Addolorato 2002;Flannery 2004;Garbutt 2010;Krupitsky 1993;Morley 2014) shows that baclofen reduced anxiety in AUD subjects.…”

Post-hoc analyses in one of the trials (Morley 2014) found that treatment with baclofen was most effective in patients with comorbid anxiety. Following these lines of evidence, baclofen may also influence the subjective expression of craving and risk of relapse by suppressing anxiety associated with AUD (Morley 2014).…”

Following these lines of evidence, baclofen may also influence the subjective expression of craving and risk of relapse by suppressing anxiety associated with AUD (Morley 2014). Thus, besides dampening the reinforcing properties of alcohol through the suppression of alcohol-stimulated dopamine release in the mesolimbic dopamine system, baclofen's effects on drinking might also be due, at least in part, to the relief of anxiety symptoms (Agabio 2014).…”

“…This is by no means a recent phenomenon. Soldiers and politicians as well as scholars, have drawn on Thucydides' history of a relatively short period of struggle between two dominant ancient Greek poleis, under the looming influence of the nearby Persian empire (Morley 2014). Of course, many great texts in history are used for the justification, clarification and exemplification of positions, ideas and principles that could not have been intended by the author.…”

Conflict, War and Revolution: The Problem of Politics in International Political Thought

The naturalness of warThucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War is one of the few foundational texts in international political thought. I introduce Thucydides' work and his influence on international relations theory and subsequent history. I consider his role as a theorist of realism and examine the nature of and basis of realism as the default perspective of international politics. Thucydides also provides an historical account of the collapse of Athenian democracy under the pressure of war, so this chapter explores the themes of democracy, strategy and leadership in wartime. Thucydides' account of a system of political communities (poleis) interacting in the absence of an overarching hegemonic power is a model of international order that continues to dominate international affairs and diplomacy. Its account of the dynamics of international politics is still thought by many to have lessons for present-day international politics and a changing world order.Prior to the first Gulf War in 2003 it was common to find commentators and scholars framing the debate about the war or its subsequent conduct through reference to the Greek historian Thucydides. Perhaps this is not surprising from classically educated journalists or academics writing 'op-ed' pieces, but references to Thucydides also extended into the western military itself. Thucydides
