term "policy" has many meanings.It was first introduced by Aristotle.It was his treatise of the same name, dedicated to the life of the family, the first time that word coined.This work laid the foundation for the emergence and development of political science, philosophy, political sciences.
Today Encyclopedic Dictionary interprets the term "politics" as an activity directly linked to relations within social groups.The aim of the policy, according to the dictionary, is the search for forms, determination of the functioning of the state.
Policy referred to as the work of the authorities, community groups.The dictionary Ozhegova term is interpreted as all manifestations of public life.
Determination Ephraim takes into account all of these values, but adds to them his own, are additional.It states that the policy - it is a series of actions aimed at achieving the goals.
One example of the latter can be called a phenomenon that has the name of "appeasement."So-called specific kind of military policy of the country (state).Its essence lies in the concessions aggressor state, a number of compromises to which the country is to keep the enemy from the breach of the peace or the use of extreme measures.
History shows that appeasement has never contributed to the peaceful results.Any aggressor who have realized that they are inferior, as a result of the transition to more decisive action.Ultimately, the policy of appeasement leads not only to the collapse of the affected State, but also to undermine the overall system of international security.
striking example of such a policy, it is the negative consequences of the Munich Agreement of 1938.
In the 30 years, France and the United Kingdom conducted a course of appeasement toward Germany.In an effort to resolve all problems through compromise, refusing to use military force, both countries have taken action Hitler for trying to eliminate the consequences of unfavorable for Germany of the Versailles Treaty.Trends for the reorganization of the order throughout the world were not disclosed at the time of their appearance.Some time later, when the plans became clear aggressor, politicians were convinced that neither the USSR nor Great Britain nor France would not be able to make cost-arms race.Therefore, it was decided that at the moment the policy of appeasement has no alternative.
Guided by this opinion, the United Kingdom signed the first pact with Germany to lift the last of all restrictions in the construction of the Navy (1935), and later did not prevent the entry of German troops into the demilitarized (in accordance with the Treaty of Versailles) area.
Appeasement was supported by Chamberlain, did not respond to the Anschluss of Austria (1938).The result of these concessions was the signing of the Munich Agreement, the essence of which was the actual creation of the Nazi state.
Such compromises with the aggressor convinced Hitler's complete inability of Britain and France to active resistance, they have led to the fact that he violated the terms of the Munich Agreement, he attacked Romania and Poland (1939).Appeasement does not weaken the Fuhrer.On the contrary, it pushed the aggressor to the most decisive action.
Today appeasement can exist in different forms, and compromises may be not only political, but economic.It is important to see the point at which the aggressor, confident of their impunity, begin to use force, their technical or military advantages.Therefore, by agreeing to compromises need to be monitored closely to ensure that the potential mironarushitel not received any strategic, political or any other benefits.
