Brocker I 629 System/System Theory/Waltz: Waltz describes his own theory as systems theory. DüsbergVsWaltz: rightly pointed out that Waltz only refers to an own area (international politics), which has an inner structure (a structure), which influences the behaviour of the parts.(1) Waltz knows no "outside world" (environment) as they are thematized by Talcott Parsons or Niklas Luhmann. >T. Parsons, >N. Luhmann, >Outer world. Brocker I 630 Structure/Waltz: exists by the arrangement of the parts in the system and by the principle of order of these parts.
